Date Night Jar

Winter is a great time to get those creative juices flowing. Being cooped up inside is a great opportunity to make do it yourself crafts. For Valentine’s day, I made a Date Night Jar. This is a easy, cheap and fun craft, that really lets you be creative. I had fun coming up with different date ideas. Especially for Summer, because I am desperately awaiting its arrival!

The process is simple for this project. Write date night ideas on Popsicle sticks, categorizing them, and place them into the jar, adding a label. When date night rolls around, pull out a Popsicle stick from the category you select and go enjoy your date! This will help with sticking to a weekly date night and also gives you a chance to maybe try something you both have not done. If you have children, involve them by helping you come up with ideas, or create a ‘family’ category!

If you need extra help with thinking of ideas, leave a comment and I will send my list!

Supplies: Popsicle Sticks, Mason Jar, Fabric, Scissors (Not pictured: Mod Podge)First, I cut a square of fabric that would fit the top of the jarThis adds an extra creative touch Next, I printed the label and colored in the blank squares  into five separate categories:

1. Stay at home
2. Go out: $ (less expensive)
3. Go out: $$$ (more expensive)
4. Summer
5. Winter

I then wrote each idea onto the Popsicle sticks with a Sharpie marker 

(If you need help with ideas, leave a comment and I will send you my list!)Using Mod Podge, I applied the label onto the jar and let dry   I finished my jar by placing the Popsicle sticks in it and tying a ribbon around the lid!
