Making Your Own Joy Jar

If you’ve been to a CorePower Yoga studio recently, you may have noticed a glitter-covered Mason jar containing pieces of paper at the front desk. We call these “Joy Jars,” as each piece of paper has a task on it that you can do to spark joy in others or yourself this Holiday Season. We love the message that these jars send, not to mention how cute they are. 

Want your own Joy Jar for your house, desk, business, etc.? Making a Joy Jar is as easy as 1-2-3-4!

What You’ll Need:

• Paper (any color)

• Scissors

• Glitter

• 1 Mason jar (any size)

• Glue, spray on adhesive, etc. 

• Permanent markers (we suggest metallic colors for an extra pop)

Directions:

1. Write down ways to spark joy - I.e. call a friend just to say “hello” or buy a coffee for whoever is behind you in line. Need some inspiration? Find more ways on how to spark joy here. 

2. Cut paper into strips - You can decide how large or thin you want these to be based off of the size of your Mason jar. 

3. Glitter-fy your jar - Cover the bottom inch or so of your Mason jar in glue, then roll in the glitter. Set aside to let dry. 

4. Put it all together - Once your jar is dry, fill the bottom of your jar with more glitter for extra pizazz. Last but not least, drop the slips of paper in so that they fill the jar. 

There you have it, your very own Joy Jar! Don’t forget to grab a slip of paper from a jar at your favorite CorePower studio to start sparking joy today.
