Mason jar Mother’s Day gifts are easy, cute, and will put a smile on mom’s face. I love a great gift in a jar….you probably know that already. I also love a great quick and easy craft project. This one fits in both of those categories! It is a great gift idea for Mother’s Day but would also work for Teacher Appreciation, Administrative Professionals Day, graduation, and so much more. Maybe you should just whip up a bunch of these jars and use them for every occasion!
Mason Jar Mother’s Day Gifts
These jars can be made in just minutes and who doesn’t love a good cow print? The best part about cow print is that it should be imperfect. That makes it great for anyone that doesn’t think they can paint or even for letting the kids make their own mason jar gift for mom.
Supplies needed to make this Mother’s Day gift in a jar:
- Pint mason jars with smooth sides
- White spray paint
- Black spray paint
- Black craft paint
- Paintbrush
- Ribbon
- OL 894 labels 3.25″ x 2″ Oval Labels
- Printable “udderly” amazing label file (see how to download this below)

How to Make a Gift in a Jar for Mom
I put together a really short video to show you just how this Mother’s Day gift in a jar comes together. Watch the super short video below!
Did you miss some of the steps? Follow along below on how to make this gift in a jar for Mother’s Day.
Mason Jar Gift Idea for Mom
- Paint your jar white with spray paint. Set aside to dry. Be sure your mason jar is clean and dry before starting this step. I like to clean my jars with rubbing alcohol before painting.
- Paint the lid black with spray paint. Set aside to dry. I paint both the inner and outer portions of the lid separately and put them together later.
- Print your “udderly” amazing labels onto the label sheet. You should have downloaded the file from your email after filling out the form above.
- Add black spots randomly to the jar with black craft paint (may require two coats). Set aside to dry. This is a great place to get the kids involved if you would like to.
- Once everything is dry, add a label to the front and tie on a ribbon. The labels are self-adhesive so all you have to do is peel and stick.
- Add the gift of your choice to the inside of the jar. I have a few ideas below but you can add anything you would like to this cute gift idea for mom.
Gifts That Fit in a Jar
Now that you have your jar made, what will you fill it with? Here are just a few ideas to get you started but I am sure you can think of so many more!
- The Udderly Smooth line of products is perfect for this cow print jar.
- Any candy that mom loves.
- A cookie mix in a jar is great if you want to change the jar out for a quart-sized version.
- Add in everything mom needs to do her nails.
- A bunch of lip balm makes a great gift as well.
- You could also leave the lid off and fill it with flowers.
You can pick up some of those or choose any other gift that will fit inside. Pick something that your gift recipient will love! They are sure to love the mason jar and the gift presentation.
Put this Mother’s Day gift in a jar on your to-do list! Be sure to make extra jars as these are perfect for any occasion. These easy mason jar Mother’s Day gifts are something mom will treasure forever!
