- Tie a ribbon around the neck of the jar to add a festive touch.
Egg Carton Flowers:
- Cut the individual egg cups from a cardboard egg carton.
- Paint each egg cup a different pastel color and let them dry.

- Add a fresh flower to each egg cup, such as a small rose or daisy, making sure the stem is submerged in the water.
