Lil' Grace Monthly DIY Box November 2020 Review
Lil' Grace is a newer addition to the Confetti Grace family and like I said last month, I am obsessed! Everything from the packaging to the supplies, to the finished projects, are top-notch and I absolutely love the November Lil' project!
In previous months, the instructions for the projects were adhered to the lid of the box, but this month, they were left loose in the box. The printout included photos of the finished product, but not necessarily detailed instructions. I like the fact that they gave you the big info while leaving the actual design up to you for customization.
Festive Mini Mason Jar Supplies
For our mini project this month we received two mini mason jars with enough embellishments to make two light-up winter wonderland scenes. This time I stuck close to the instructions and the kids absolutely loved helping with these!

Box of Goodies
Everything in this sub was packaged really well and was incredibly cute while also being functional. We received a small white cardboard box that held one of the mason jars, a bow, the trees, and the main figurines. When my 7-year-old caught a glimpse of the fawn, he immediately put his Legos away to join in the creating fun!

Bag of Embellishments
The next little goodie bag we received was sparkling with winter cheer! We received 4 sprigs of glittery evergreen, beads, tealights, Velcro, ribbon, a bell, and 2 reversible circles. I don't know what it is about little bags with random craft supplies, but I just love digging in and seeing all of the items!

Second Jar and Glue
Packaged in a layer of packing foam, we received our other mason jar alongside the gift box. Inside, we were given a jar of glue and a little paint sponge. I love how they utilized all of this month's supplies as packaging to eliminate all of the plastic bags I'm used to receiving. Not only is it less waste, but it looks cute too.
Card and Envelope
Confetti Grace suggests keeping one of these gifts for yourself, and giving one away, so along with the packaging supplies for one of our gifts, we also received a small card with a minimalistic design. Subtle and adorable – the perfect addition to the gift box!
Creating the Jars
1 of 8
Like I said above, our instructions were pretty loose, but did note the large steps. First, we went ahead and unscrewed the tealight. In the middle (to keep it turned off in transit) there was a paper tab that needed to be removed. Then we adhered the Velcro circles to the bottom of the tealight and the bottom side of the jar lid. Once the Velcro was placed, we flipped the jar lid over and glued the circle of paper onto the top for a decorative note. With the bag of beads, we had the option of adding them to our trees with the glue and sponge, but Hank decided to skip that step as he wanted a "natural" looking habitat for his fawn. Using a bit of glue, we adhered the tree, a sprig of evergreen, and the deer to the bottom of the jar. After we let it dry for about an hour, we divided up the snow and Hank added his half to the jar to create his winter wonderland. These steps were mostly the same with Charlie, except I had to help him quite a bit more (which is why the lack of photos of his) but he had a really good time creating it. The snowman combined with the tree made for a tight fit in the jar and didn't quite sit right, so I had to get out the hot glue gun to get it to stand appropriately.
Once the snow was added, we tied a bow out of the ribbon and added the bell to the jar as the finishing touch.

Didn't they turn out darling?! I love how easy it is to turn these tealights on and off and how simple yet cute this project turned out to be. Hank and Charlie headed these projects, but I was there to assist when needed.

And here is how the little mason jar fits in the gift box packaged up to give away. While neither of my boys want to give these as gifts, (and I can't say that I blame them because they are just so stinkin' cute) I would be more than happy to receive one of these little jars!

I love the little splash of light these jars offer in unexpected places and the fact that my kids and I were able to spend an afternoon together creating them! Because they are so cute, I think I may have to order another kit to give a couple of these away as actual gifts. What do you think of them?
Verdict: Lil' Grace DIY Box is quickly becoming my favorite craft box of all time. The adorably simple crafts they offer are well thought out, high quality, and fun. These little jars are something I would definitely buy in a store, and being able to make something so pretty with my kids is amazing. Even though we won't be using the gift box to give one of these away, I already have a different gift packaged in it for my best friend, so everything is being used – exactly what I look for in a subscription box! I can't wait to see what's in store for next month!
Lil' Grace Monthly DIY Box costs $14.95 + $4.95 per monthly delivery, so each mason jar light averages out to about $9.95. I feel this was a great value as we also received a card, charm, and packaging supplies to give one as a gift. That coupled with the fact that we have glue, fake snow, and the paintbrush left over for other craft projects is a win for me!
