Do you have a dad in your life who is a Star Wars fan? These Star Wars Mason Jars are a great DIY gift for Father’s Day and they won’t take long to make! We made these jars for Clever Dad for Father’s Day and filled them with a delicious treat. The Easy Turtles Candy Recipe below only contains 3 ingredients and is easy enough for kids to create!
I also used my Cricut for this project and realized, I don’t use this awesome tool enough! The fact that I can decorate anything in minutes with it’s help has actually inspired me to make something else with these Star Wars cuts.
