A Fall Hostess Gift For Under $5

The supplies to create this gift are easy to obtain:

  • 1 jar of jam (either homemade or a good store brand)
  • Natural coffee filters
  • Raffia
  • Old silver spoon (I find these at garage sales and thrift stores for pennies)
  • Leaf-shaped tag (you can google “leaves” and hand cut one out, I used my silhouette machine)

A Fall Hostess Gift For Under $5

Place one coffee filter over the top of the jar. Select two or three long strands of raffia and tie it around the base. Add a tag and spoon and you’re done!
