Begin by filling your jars with the smaller items.
Tuck in your crackers toward the back of the jar.
Using your toothpicks, skewer a few of your ingredients such as cheeses, meats, olives, etc.
Place the toothpick skewered items into your jar. Vary heights and colors to create interest.
Fill in with extra ingredients to hold things in place.
Garnish with a sprig of a fresh herb.
