Maya Angelou Quotes In Mason Jar

You will need:

*mason jar (any size)

*card stock

*hot glue or you can use sticker paper

*gray string

*any kind of print software program

*pic of Maya Angelou

For the outside of the quote card: On white card stock--I used a print program’s mailing label template and added a black rectangle border around it.  The label was 3.69” x 1.19” in size.

I put my pic of Maya Angelou in the left corner.  Then added the words, "Inspiration with Maya Angelou" in black and highlighted the words in a gray rectangle box.

Inside quote card:  I used gray paper and a blank page from a print program.  I made a smaller black rectangle border:  3.5” x 1”.

I typed the quote inside the box.  Glue or use sticker paper to combine front and back of the two labels into one. Fold in fourths.

Crafts Maya Angelou Quotes Page for Mason Jar

To decorate the jar:  I made a black rectangle in a blank page of a print program.  I sized it to the flat part of the front of the jar.  I added the same pic, but a bigger size of it.  And added white text: "Inspiration with Maya Angelou".

Lastly, I made four black circles.  Inside each black circle was a smaller gray circle.  Two  of the circles I added the text: "Maya Angelou quotes".  The other two circles the text: :"Take as needed:".  I cut out the four circles.  I glued the two circles together (to make them sturdier) adding gray ornament string between the two glued circles.

Open Heart Maya Angelou Quote 

I've learned that whenever 

I decide something with an open heart, 

I usually make the right decision. 

I've learned that even when I have pains, 

I don't have to be one. 

I've learned that every day you should 

reach out and touch someone.

People love a warm hug, 

or just a friendly pat on the back. 

I've learned that I still have a lot to learn. 

I've learned that people will forget what you said,

people will forget what you did, 

but people will never forget 

how you made them feel. 

-Maya Angelou

Life is pure adventure, and the sooner we realize that, the quicker we will be able to treat life as art. -Maya Angelou
