Are you looking for a cute idea for Valentine’s Day? I love Valentine’s Day, and who doesn’t like chocolate. So I thought it would be fun to make a candy jar. This is a fun and easy project that you can make in no time! Add a candy jar full of chocolate or your favorite candy to your table. This project makes a nice gift for a friend or co-worker too!
Using a terracotta pot to make this candy jar makes it very affordable. I made this one for Valentine’s day, but this would work great for Halloween also!

- 4” clay pot
- 4” clay saucer
- glass fishbowl

So let’s get started on learning how to makes a this cute Valentine’s Day Candy Jar! Check out the video tutorial below or follow the step by step instructions below! You choose how you want to learn!
Step 1 – Paint Candy Jar
First, paint the pot and saucer. I painted mine red. You don’t need to paint the inside of the pot. Then paint the wooden ball. I painted mine white.
Step 2 – Glue
Now it is time to glue the pieces together. Turn the pot upside down and apply a bead of E6000 glue and the glue stick on the pot’s bottom.
Place the glass bowl bottom on the glue. Now add E6000 and glue stick to the bottom of the wooden ball, turn the saucer upside down, and place it in the middle of the saucer.
Step 3 – Add Decorations
Now the fun part we get to add some decorations. I picked up some cute hearts at the Dollar Tree. I added them and some ribbon to my candy jar.
Step 4 – Add Candy
Now it is time to add some sugar to our candy jar. I added chocolate to my candy jar. What are you going to add to yours?
