Need a fun wedding gift? How about a Money Stache Jar. Can be used as a money jar, cookie jar, or candy jar. Fun idea!
Last weekend my niece got married. And there was no way The Crafty Blog Stalker was just going to give a couple of towels. I wasn’t exactly sure what I was going to do until I found these cute glass jars.
It was a perfect size for a cookie/treat jar. Now the jar is cute by itself but I can’t leave cute enough alone.
I went to my trusty Silhouette
and cut out of vinyl a mustache and the word our out of dark brown vinyl. For Our Stache. I didn’t want to use my stache (even though I know it is closer to the real word mustache – my stache) because they were getting married and so they come together, so I used the word our. Yes, I know I over think things 🙂

I applied the vinyl to the jar. Then came the fun part of filling the jar.
We got a couple of bags of chocolate and then 40 singles to fill the rest of the jar. My original thought was to roll all of the singles up with ribbon by my husband said there was no way that would fill the jar, and after experimenting with a few I realized that he was right. Man I hate when that happens! So we just crinkled up the bills instead and put them in.
Here is a close up of the “Our Stache” in vinyl on the jar.
Tied with some rope around the top.
What newlywed wouldn’t love a jar of cash? I am not a newlywed and I know I would like one!

June 29, 2012 at 12:04 amWhen I got married, the best man and his wife gave us a red plastic barrel containing 50 silver dollars! I still have the barrel and some of the silver dollars! Hoever, I’m no longer married and the best man died of cancer a few years ago. His window and I have continued our friendship through over 50 years of thick and thin!

October 4, 2016 at 12:54 pmwhat size is the jar? 32oz or 1 ga?
Katie says
October 4, 2016 at 1:14 pmThank you for catching that, I did use the Gallon jar. Of course, the vinyl could be applied to the smaller 32 oz jar as well for a smaller “stache” jar. Thanks Beate!
