• Avery iron transfer paper


• Avery 2” round labels


• Avery 2.5” round labels


• Glass Jars


• Pretty Fabric


• Floral Washi Tape (we found ours at Michael's)


• White String


• Muslin Bags


• 2 Lbs. Fresh Strawberries


• 2 Cups Sugar


• 1 Lemon


• Biscuits


• Wax Paper


• "Thank you" Label Template


• "Spread the love" Label Template


• "Fresh biscuit" Label Template

Make some strawberry jam (one batch makes about 6-7 jars of jam). We used this recipe.

Print the “Thank you” label onto the iron transfer paper. Cut off excess iron transfer paper.

Place the “Thank you” label face down on the muslin bag and iron on according to the iron transfer instructions. Repeat for remaining bags.

Print the “Spread the love” labels onto the 2” round labels, and the “Fresh biscuit” labels onto the 2.5” round labels.

Cut out a circle of fabric that is about an inch larger than the diameter of the jar lid. Make one circle per jar.

Tie the fabric onto each jar lid. Cut a 4” piece of washi tape and cut a triangle out of each end. Press the washi tape over the jar lid. Press a “Spread the love” label on top of the jar, repeat with remaining jars.

Wrap each biscuit (store bought or homemade) in wax paper and press on a “Fresh biscuit” label. Fill each thank you bag with jam and biscuit.
