Jar of Love Notes: 365 Messages to Cut, Fold and Open One a Day

Jar of love notes you print at home: 365 short, original messages to cut, fold and place in a glass jar, so the person you love can unfold one little note each day for a full year. The 21 undated pages hold 2.5 by 1.25 in notes, 24 per sheet with guides for cutting, along with 43 empty notes to write yourself, labels for the jar and gift tags, as a PDF in US Letter and A4.

It is an instant download. Nothing is shipped, so you can start cutting tonight.

How the jar of love notes comes together

Every note carries a number and belongs to one of 11 themes. The biggest groups are reasons I love you (72), plus memories, compliments and open when notes (48 each, with 12 of the memories left for you to complete with your own moments). Rounding it out are little promises, notes for mornings and bedtimes, thank yous, dreams for what lies ahead, love is notes, easy date invitations and 5 last notes for the closing days of the year.

A guide page shows where each theme sits, by note number and page. The gift page uses drawings to walk you through printing, cutting, folding or rolling, filling the jar and adding the finishing touches: a circle for the lid, a label for the front and a tag tied with string. The whole jar takes a single relaxed evening. Want a smaller version? Print just one theme, or reprint any sheet when supplies run low. The tone is warm and simple throughout, so it suits whoever you love most, whether husband or wife, boyfriend or girlfriend.

Who it is for

• Anyone wanting a thoughtful, handmade anniversary, birthday or just because present for a husband, wife, boyfriend or girlfriend
• Long distance couples who want a small piece of love to open each day while they are apart
• Crafty givers who would like a project that fits into one evening rather than a whole week
• Partners who find sweet words hard to say aloud and would rather leave them in a jar

Design and printing

• Minimal and elegant: crisp white pages with delicate blush pink touches that go easy on ink
• Roomy margins throughout, so a home printer will not trim anything away
• Notes measure 2.5 by 1.25 in, about 6.4 by 3.2 cm, and fit 24 to a sheet with dashed lines and crop marks for cutting, on 8.5 x 11 in US Letter or 210 x 297 mm A4 paper. Labels and tags are on the final page
• Undated, so the jar can begin on any day of the year
• All 365 messages were written originally for this set, in warm, tasteful US English
• Simple line drawings guide you through cutting, folding, filling and labeling
