Easter Candy Jar Vases
Grab all your supplies. Make sure your mason jars are washed and dried before you start. Next, take a cardboard tube and cut it so that it fits inside the mason jar. You can also use toilet paper rolls but make sure you’re not eating candy after you use those, because of cross contamination. The cardboard tubes are great because they leave space for flowers and you use less candy to fill the jars (more for you to eat!)
Start filling your mason jar with your Easter candy. We used chocolate eggs and honestly, I was afraid we wouldn’t have enough because the kids kept trying to eat them! You may need to hold your cardboard tube as you start but eventually the candy will hold the tube in place.
Continue filling your mason jar until the candy covers the cardboard tube and there is candy to the top.
Do the same for any other mason jar vases you have.
Take your fresh flowers and cut the stem so that it fits nicely inside the cardboard tube. You can use artificial flowers too. And if you want your Easter candy vases to last longer this is a good idea because the fresh flowers won’t last long without water.
Take ribbon or scrap fabric and wrap it around the neck of your mason jar.
And you’re done!
You can also take out the flowers and just use the candy jars as decor.
