New Year · No machine
A little jar of possibilities
Make room for good things in the year ahead.

STARTER GUIDE · AWAITING MAKER TESTING
Let’s make something lovely.
- 01
Choose a clean jar or a small box. Remove old labels if needed and dry completely.
- 02
Cut paper into strips about 1 × 4 inches. Keep a stack beside the container.
- 03
Write simple invitations on a few strips: “Something I want to try,” “A place I want to go,” and “Someone I want to make time for.”
- 04
Tie a handwritten label around the jar or attach one to the box.
- 05
Add your first wish. Revisit the collection during the year, adding small wins alongside your hopes.
A paper box is a good alternative when glass is impractical.
Make it personal
Make one for a friend, with a few thoughtful suggestions to get them started.
