This tiny terrarium is so cheerful in my kitchen.
5. If desired, you can add a fun, little embellishment to the top of each painted jar. I chose to glue down big, flat buttons to each one—they're inexpensive and add an interesting element (at least to a button lover like me!). I used cement glue to attach my buttons, but if you are adding rhinestones or something more delicate, I suggest using craft glue to protect the finish.

After the coat of sealer dried, I glued a big, flat-backed button to each lid. |
6. Write a quick gift tag and tie it to one of the chai tea jars with ribbon. I kept it simple with a Sharpie, but you could do any kind of design or image that you like.

Add a gift tag to your tea kit! |
7. Give your gifts—and don't forget to make an extra one for yourself!

You could also crochet a tiny terrarium cozy using Cal's awesome tutorial from earlier this week!
