Let’s make something lovely.

  1. 01

    Choose a clean jar or a small box. Remove old labels if needed and dry completely.

  2. 02

    Cut paper into strips about 1 × 4 inches. Keep a stack beside the container.

  3. 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.”

  4. 04

    Tie a handwritten label around the jar or attach one to the box.

  5. 05

    Add your first wish. Revisit the collection during the year, adding small wins alongside your hopes.

A little helpful detail

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.
