Materials:
3 Mason jars, various sizes
Gold spray paint
3 Branches
Wooden tags with letters
Copper wire

Black Sharpie, fine point
Utility knife
Wire snips
Instructions:
1. Spray the branches gold and let them dry.
2. Spray the inside of the jars and the tops of their lids gold and let them dry.
3. Snip three lengths of copper wire and string on the letters to spell out “u” for the first jar, “give” for the second jar and “me” for third jar, then wrap each wired word around the mouths of the respective jars.
4. Screw the lids on to the jars, puncture a hole with the utility knife, twisting the blade to widen the hole to size, then fit in the branches.
5. Using the backs of the wooden letter tags, write the things that have been ‘given’ i.e. fun, romance, wisdom, patience, support, etc.
