This is a fabulous idea and so cheap to make. As Sissie Sass says, you rarely see crafts for graduation. While I think a check or cash would be great gifts to put in the jar, my preference would be to insert a meaningful note or poem - something very personal to the graduate.

You never see any crafts out there for graduation, especially those that are for gift giving. I love how you thought outside of the box to make it a craft that fits the theme and it makes it so much more fun for the recipient. Thanks for posting a neat idea.
