Decorate your jar by printing out the printable label on card stock. Print the label at 3 ½ x 5 photo size to perfectly fit a pint jar. Right click on the image below to save it or click to view the image full page and save it from there.
I used kraft paper for an aged look and cut around label and simply taped it to the front of jar. Finish by wrapping some twine or raffia around a few times before tying it off.
