Tips for Adding Tags
Of course, once your mason jar is all set, you’ll want to add a personal touch with a cute gift tag.

What are the benefits of gifting a mason jar?
Gifting a mason jar is great for those who love to sew because it’s an all-in-one gift! Everything they need (like fabric, buttons, thread, and other sewing supplies) can be neatly contained in one place. Plus, they have the convenience of having all their supplies right at hand.
How else can I customize this DIY sewing kit?

How do I make a mason jar pin cushion for my DIY sewing kit?
Another fun idea for a DIY sewing kit is to transform your mason jar lid into a functional pin cushion. To achieve this, all you need to do is secure a pin cushion to your mason jar lid instead of the miniature sewing machine.
