Instructions
- Add the mason jars to your plate charger. Add wooden forks or even toothpicks into the center jar for your guests to use for their cheese.
- To make markers for the types of cheese, cut off wooden skewers to an appropriate length for your jars. Then add a washi tape flag and cut with scissors. Write the name of each cheese with a Sharpie marker.
- You can also use your Sharpie to write words around the outer edge of your plate charger. I just freehanded the lettering. Then add in your cheese as well as a flag to mark each flavor.

Why should you use a mason jar cheese tray?
Here are a few of the benefits of serving up cheese in mason jars:
- Put the lid on each jar once the party is done and put it right in the refrigerator. No need for additional containers.
- You can wash and reuse these jars for a variety of things so they are not just for parties.
- Mason jars as well as charger plates are super inexpensive making this an easy craft that doesn’t cost you a ton of money.
- This project is easily customizable to your theme. Choose colors that work with your party or even decorate the tray with your Cricut machine.
- Use recycled jars in place of mason jars. Just remove any labels and add them to the tray.
