Breast Cancer Awareness Gifts in a Jar Supplies:
- “Hope” Jumbo stamp wheel designed by Jen Goode for Rollagraph® by Clearsnap
- BCA Printables also from Jen Goode
- ColorBox Crafter’s Inkpad in Sweet Pea
- pink glitter paper
- pink glitter ribbon
- Wide pink ribbon
- pink bakers twine
- White cardstock
- Hot Glue
- Scoring board
- Scissors
- Paper cutter
- Sizzix and circle dies (optional)
Breast Cancer Gift Idea Instructions:
I started with the fabulous Rollagraph stamp and my pink ink. I used the stamp over an entire sheet of white cardstock. Just roll the stamp on the ink pad then roll it onto the paper.
I then cut the paper into four equal pieces lengthwise and scored the paper every 1/2 inch using a scoring board.
I cut circles from both the printables supplied by Jen and the pink glitter paper. Speaking of the printables by Jen, she has even more printables for BCA month for you so don’t miss those. I used my Sizzix to cut the circles but you can use any method you have available.
Then fold your paper on each scoreline. Glue together the ends of each of the four pieces of paper to make one long strip.
Then glue together the ends of the long strip to make a circle.
Apply hot glue to the center of the circle and pull in to make a medallion. Add the centerpieces to the medallion to secure.
Lets work on the lid for our jar now. Again I cut a circle out of the pink glitter paper and the printables from Jen.
I used hot glue to secure those circles to the top and some pink glitter ribbon around the outside of the band.
Now lets put this gift together. Start with a wide pink ribbon around the center of the jar and secure with hot glue.
Attach your paper medallion to the front of your gift using hot glue. Add some fabulous pampering supplies to the inside and use pink tissue paper to fill. You could also fill with candy or cookies if you know that the recipient will enjoy them.
Add your lid to the top. I also used a piece of pink baker’s twine to add a printable tag from Jen to the top. You can write who your gift is to and from on this tag.
Ideas for Gifts to Add Inside Your Jar:
You will need to fill your jar with small gifts. Here are a few ideas to put in your jar:
- Lotion
- Chapstick
- Cookies
- Candy
- Face mask
- Nail kit
- Nail polish
- Snack bars
- anything small that will bring some cheer!
Your gift is ready to put cheer in the heart of anyone dealing with breast cancer. Breast cancer gifts in a jar are a simple idea but a great way to encourage anyone to fight like a girl!

I have a niece in her 20’s fighting this horrid disease. Her sisters have started a site and are selling shirts, hats and bracelets to bring awareness. I am sharing all I can to get the word out.
I love how this gift idea turned out, fantastic! Thank you so much for participating in this blog hop event this event, you are awesome!
I support BCA by continuing to support my mother in law, who is a survivor of breast cancer.
I have been trying to pin the thing (several times) but it’s not going through.
I was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer at the age of 29. I am a huge advocate for self-exams, living well, and getting regular checks.

Fight like a girl….I love that!
I agree, that “Fight Like A Girl” label is wonderful!!
I love this. This could be done in teal for ovarian cancer survivors. Many people do not know that the two cancers are related and ovarian is harder to detect and to survive.
This is such an incredible gift to make. You are to be commended for making it and giving us the how to. I don’ t know anybody that has breast cancer right now but you can count on if I meet somebody I’ll be making this gift for her. Fight like a girl. Happy days
What a lovely gift
I lost my best friend to breast cancer many years ago. My mother had it but survived the disease. I try to contribute wherever I can financially. I can’t run in the Race for the Cure so I do whatever else I can do.
This is lovely Angie! What a thoughtful gift idea.

What size of paper did you use? I have a co-worker that just found out she has stage 2 breast cancer and what to support her and seen this and would like to make one for her. Thank you.
The paper was 8 1/2 x 11 white card stock. Hope that helps!
Perfect, thank you.
Can I ask what you put in the jar? I’m looking to use this as a craft for recruitment this year and I would love to know exactly what to get! Thank you!
Gosh. I know I put some small lotions and beauty products. I don’t know the exact contents…sorry!
I just looked at the instructions to create the fight like a girl. I love it I cant wait to make one for my cousin and girlfriend who are both cancer survivors.
