For the supplies, you're going to collect ingredients to make M&M cookies from scratch, with any additions to decorate the jar.

Now the Love Birds Mason Jar is a really cute idea from the Valentine's Day Mason jar gift ideas you can easily create. It's two love birds sitting on a branch inside of the jar! Can't get any more adorable than that. Your lover can also place her gift anywhere in the house, like the living room coffee table, the dining table, or her bedside table. The birds can represent the love the two of you are sharing.

Even though it looks like a huge project, it truly isn't. In fact, the supplies are simple and so are the steps. Just gather a large mouth Mason jar, two little feather birds, a stick, Krylon white primer, a heart sticker, a ribbon, scraps of fabric, a hot glue gun, glue dots, pinking shears, faux moss, and you’re good to go! Once you've presented this to your partner, they won't stop adoring her gift.
