The first Sunday following Labor Day is traditionally deemed “Grandparents Day.” Have your little ones show nana, papa, G-ma, pop pop—or whatever they’ve become accustomed to calling them—some extra love and appreciation with a homemade gift. A classic choice the grandparents coo over: the picture frame. Back in our day, popsicle sticks made up the base. But today, it’s all about the Mason jar.

This thoughtful Home Stories A to Z from Homes Stories A to Z is for all ages, so grab a jar, some paint, your favorite photo memory and flowers from the garden, and you’ve got yourself a forever vase with adorable smiles to match.
