Making your s’more in a jar project
To make this project, you will need the following supplies:

- Cork stoppers to fit
- Long piece of string
- 3/4 inch red striped ribbon
- Graham style crackers or plain graham crackers
- Large Marshmallows
- Chocolate squares
- Medium weight card stock

Print out the label for the s’mores in a jar
Since this project is meant to be a party favor, we have included a free printable that features 6 individual gift labels. You can print them at home on your printer!
Load the white card stock into your printer. Print out the label here, or click on the image to print it out(without the red overlay) using the print function on your browser. This will give you a full sized sheet of labels.
You can also print out the label in the project card at the bottom of the page for a smaller sized group of labels.
Directions for filling the s’mores jar
Layer four graham style crackers, 2 large marshmallows and 2 squares of chocolate. If your jar is large, you can double up on the s’mores ingredients.
Add a cork stopper to the top of the Mason jar.
Use a hole punch to punch a hole in the gift tag label. Tie a piece of white string around the jar mouth, threading it through the gift tag.
Cut the striped ribbon to fit the neck of your jar and tie it over the top of the white string.
Making a snowman s’mores jar for the holidays (optional)
Use a white Styrofoam ball and a few holiday craft supplies to make a snowman head. Place in the mouth of the jar in place of the cork.
