The small mason jars were purchased at Michael's and sold in packages of 3 by Tim Holtz.
Cut a strip of white paper, 8 1/4" x 1 3/4", to go around the jar. Then cut a strip of red glimmer paper, 8 1/4" x 1/2" to layer at the bottom of the white strip. Attach the glimmer paper to the back of the white piece, using tear tape.
Using pieces of white paper, stamp the Santa jacket, pants, hat, boots and clothespins (4 sets of clothespins), with the Black Memento ink pad and then stamp the inside of the jacket, pants and hat with the Real Red ink. Stamp the insides of the clothespins with Crumb Cake ink.
Using the Big Shot and the Santa Suit dies, cut out all the stamped images.
Using a small dot of multi purpose liquid glue, 'attach' the clothespins to the tops of each stamped image and let dry for a few minutes.
Using Black Memento ink, stamp the clothesline across the white strip of paper, centering the image.
Using the Big Shot and the layering circles dies, cut a 2" scallop circle from the red glimmer paper and a 1 5/8" circle from Whisper White paper.
Using Black Memento ink, stamp the 'Have a Jolly Christmas' words on the white circle and attach it to the red glimmer scallop circle, using glue dots. Attach the circles to the lid of the jar using some tear tape.
Using the multi purpose liquid glue, glue all of the Santa pieces to the piece of whisper white strip so they look like they are hanging on the clothesline and let dry for a bit.
Measure and cut the red mini tinsel ribbon to fit around the lid of the jar. I then used a thin strip of tear tape (folded in half the long way to make it about 1/8" instead of a 1/4" wide) to go around the edge of the lid and attached the tinsel ribbon and tied a bow.
Add tear tape to the back of each end of the white strip that has the Santa suit pieces glued on. Start at the back of the jar, centered on the jar and attach one end and carefully wrap the strip around the jar, keeping it as straight as possible and attach the other end to the top of the end that is already attached.
Fill the jar with Santa hat kisses and close up the jar.
