Not too long ago, I participated in a Coffee Tour Blog Hop, and…
I was asked to share all my coffee themed projects, but at the time, I only had one – my DIY You Can Do This Tote. I have been wanting to put together a coffee gift in a jar for awhile, so I thought this was the perfect opportunity. I got to thinking, and thought of “Just Want to Espresso My…”, and thought how fun!
Materials I Used:
- Small Jar – Specifically, I used this Candy Jars with Ribbed Accents I found at my local Dollar Tree
- Espresso Candies – I used Bali’s Best Espresso Candy
- Kraft Gift Tags – got mine at Hobby Lobby
- 0.5 Sakura Pigma Micro Pen – found mine at a local specialty shop for painting and drawing, but I know Hobby Lobby also sells them, and I’ve linked to it on Amazon
- Twine to Attach Tag
Material Notes:
CANDIES: Originally, I wanted to find some chocolate covered espresso beans, which I ALWAYS see at Ross, but during the time of prepping for this post, not a single chocolate covered espresso bean to be found, figures. I did, however, find a big container of espresso candies at Ross, and was able to turn it into two and a half candy jars (I kept the half). Alternatively, Werther’s has some delicious coffee/espresso flavored hard candies, or you can put actual coffee beans in the jar.
Time Spent:
10 Minutes!
DIY:
I don’t have any step-by-step photos for this one, but it’s a super easy DIY! I simply wrote out my saying, “Just Want to Espresso My Thanks” and “Just Want to Espresso My Love”, using fake calligraphy for the “Espresso” part, then filled the jars with candies, and tied it all together with some twine. Quick, easy and makes a great gift!
Please feel free to include the main photo from this post in a relevant blog post (like a round up), but do not share it without a proper link back giving me credit. Do not re-publish my photos as your own, do not sell any part of my writings in this blog post, and do not copy and paste my blog post anywhere, link to it instead so other’s can find the source.

Thanks so much for the feature! I don’t get to hand letter as much as I used to, but I really had fun working up these little tags.
