How To:
- Fill one jar with Peppermint Mints, one with hot chocolate powder and one with Mini marshmallows
- Glue the 3 jars together and wait for them to be very dry before handeling them.
- Meanwhile use the black paper to make a hat by cutting a long strip about 1/2" wide and long enough that will go around the jar, cut one circule the size of the top of you jar and a second one about 1/2" larger. Assemble your hat on the top jar
- With the permanent Marker draw the eyes, the mouth and the butons.
- Cut a triangule out of the orange paper and glue it as the nose.
- Wrap ribbon in between the first and the second jar to create the scarf.
- Glue candycane to the middle jar.
