Hostess Gift: The Jellybean Prayer Jar

Are you in need of a last-minute Easter gift? Have you ever been introduced to The Jellybean Prayer? It’s a delightful and heartfelt prayer that beautifully tells the story of Easter!

Sharing The Jellybean Prayer at Easter is easy.

How to Make the Jellybean Prayer Jar: Five Easy Steps

Step 1: Purchase bags of jellybeans from your local supermarket. Jellybeans are an inexpensive Easter candy. Check the regular candy section if you cannot find any in the Easter aisle. Also, in some supermarkets, jellybeans are available in bulk.

Step 2: Fill jars with jellybeans. Recycled jars work wonderfully for this project.

Step 3: Screw the lid on tightly.

Step 4: Paint the lid or cut a piece of cloth to cover the lid. Then, secure the cloth with a piece of ribbon.

Step 5: Paste The Jellybean Prayer printout to the jar. Or print the prayer on card stock and attach it with another piece of ribbon.

Now, you are all set to share your last-minute Easter surprises. Happy Easter!
