This is a similar idea to a gratitude bag, but in a jar you can make look pretty and have sit on your kitchen counter or somewhere visible. Here, you will decorate a small container in which you’ll be able to keep notes and memories of things that make you happy in life! Build your way to a more positive day when you open the lid and read what’s inside later on.
Create a way to capture and help remember the good and positive things that happen in daily life. In this container, you’ll be able to keep notes and memories of events and things that were good or make you happy in life! Build your way to more a more positive day when you open the lid and read what’s inside later.
One inexpensive way to do this is with small mason jars with lids, small baskets, or small boxes with lids. Your supplies will include jars with lids or small boxes or baskets, any and all odd craft materials, including fabric scraps or material and ribbon you may have around and could use to decorate. Tacky glue, fabric glue, decoupage, scissors, markers and a few permanent markers so something can be written on the top can also be helpful.
One place to look for mason jars, if you don’t have them around is Oriental Trading or Michael’s.
You can even decorate the mason jar lids or container covers with phrases or images that represent gratefulness or gratitude to you.
