This project is quick and easy, directions are below. Check out our complete list of the best mason jar gift ideas for coworkers, teachers & neighbors.

How to Make a Flower Bulb Starter Gift in a Jar

You’ll need the following:

Mason jar
Potting Soil
Small white rocks
A bulb, such as paperwhites, amaryllis, tulips, daffodils or hyacinth (make sure it’s pre-chilled)

First, put a layer of rocks in the jar to promote drainage, then fill the jar about two-thirds up with soil. Plant your bulb and you’re done. Just be sure to place it in a sunny spot and don’t forget to water.

Decorating Your Mason Jar

Instead of paper or a gift bag, add an extra gift to your flower bulb starter by wrapping it with a Silicone Mason Jar Sleeve. JarJackets are made with Silicone which naturally insulates and protects your jars, so they're perfect for taking smoothies, coffee or even lunch to work. Plus, they’re dishwasher and microwave safe and made of earth-friendly materials.
