How to make a decorated mason jar for gift giving with polymer clay

Mason Jar gifts are everywhere- you can even buy books that feature recipes you can put in a mason jar (peanut butter cookies, anyone?) So here is a beautiful way to give the gift in a jar that they will keep! Use your cutters and stamps to create decorative patterns and they will reuse the jar over and over. www.createalong.com

To make this exact project you will need the three tools shown, plus a mason jar. I used one of the smaller ones that has a patter on the jar, but you can use any size and get similar results, just add or subtract flowers to the side of the jar to get the number you need!
