DIY Pedicure in a Jar
You know I can’t resist anything in a mason jar! These pedicure sets are no exception! If I’m not putting Cookies in a Jar, I’m making some other little gift and tying it up pretty with a bow.
This is a versatile DIY because you can make 1 or 20 depending on how you’re going to use them. Plus, they’re fairly inexpensive. How cute would it be to give these away at a bridal shower as a party favor or prize?

With a few simple supplies you can assemble these little jars in just a few minutes.
MATERIALS NEEDED
Pint Size Mason Jars (wide mouth)
Pedicure Supplies (nail file, nail clippers, toe separators, push stick, polish, etc.)
Cotton Rounds
Ribbon, Tags and Labels
Ingredients
- Pint Size Mason Jars (wide mouth)
- Pedicure Supplies (nail file, nail clippers, toe separators, push stick, polish, etc.)
- Cotton Rounds
- Ribbon, Tags and Labels
Instructions
- To assemble, place a small stack of cotton rounds in the bottom of each jar, and then add the pedicure tools and polishes.
- Decorate your jars with personalized labels and tags, and then add some cute coordinating ribbon for the finishing touch.
I found this 7 piece nail set at Dollar Tree, so look there first and see if they have something that might work before buying individually. That could be pricey. The set wasn’t very interesting packaged like this, but in a mason jar, it’s something special 🙂 {The dry skin file was too large to put in the jar, so I used it for something else.}
Remove the nail care set from the package and fill the mason jar with all of the supplies.
The labels on top of the jar are 2.5 inch printable circles purchased from Paper Source. You could use printable labels or print out what you want your labels to say, and then punch them yourself with a 2.5 inch craft punch. Amazon also has printable round labels.
The cute labels I used, can be printed from here.
Attach a girly little ribbon and tag and it’s ready to go!
Enjoy creating your pedicure in a jar gifts and giving them as party favors or to those you love – like mom!
