Supplies
1 mason jar
1 can of cherry red spray paint
1/2 sheet of green card stock
scissors
raffia ribbon or bakers twine in the color of your choice
Optional: 24 pack of unsharpened pencils
Instructions
1. Thoroughly wash the mason jar. Allow time to fully dry.
2. Remove the lid to the mason jar and put aside.
3. In a well ventilated area, shake the can of red spray paint for at least 1 minute to avoid air bubbles and chunks of paint when applying to the jar.
4. Spray the mason jar with the spray paint (at least 6 to 8 inches away from the jar) and place it aside to dry. Apply a second coat if desired.
5. While waiting for the jar to dry, trace a pair of leaves on the green card-stock paper.
6. Cut out the traced leaves and poke a small hole through the top, big enough to run the raffia ribbon or twine through.
Optional: With a black or brown sharpie, write a message or teachers name on the apple leaf tags.
7. Take your raffia ribbon or bakers twine and run through the traced card-stock. Wrap around the top of the mason jar and tie a knot to secure.
8. Place the unsharpened pencils in the mason jar.
