Step 1: Guide shapes
Lightly sketch this oval. It only shows where the big parts go, so press softly. You will erase it at the end.
Step 2: The jar body
Draw a big, round, slightly wide jar shape with a smooth curve. Start at the upper left, curve down and around the bottom, then up the right side, leaving the top open.
Step 3: The round lid
Draw a wide dome on top of the jar, like half of an oval. Its two ends reach down to the open top corners of the jar.
Step 4: The label
In the middle of the jar, draw a rectangle with rounded corners. Make it big enough to hold a little picture.
Step 5: String and cloth edge
Draw a gently wavy line across the bottom of the lid for the string. Then start a bumpy line under it on the left, like little hills, for the edge of the cloth cover.
Step 6: The bow
At the middle of the string, draw two small loops side by side to make a bow. Then keep the bumpy cloth edge going to the right.
Step 7: The honey drip
On the right side, start at the cloth edge and draw a long, thin U shape that hangs down the jar. It looks like honey slowly dripping.
Step 8: The little bee
Inside the label, draw a tiny bee with a round body and two small round wings on top. Add a couple of short lines on the body for stripes.
Step 9: The honey dipper
Next to the jar, draw a long, thin stick that leans a little, using two lines side by side. At the top, add a small oval and draw two curved stripes across it.
All done!
Erase the guide shapes, go over your lines, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a honey jar
- Sketch the jar body as a light oval first, then trace over it. This keeps the jar round and balanced.
- The bumpy cloth edge is the trickiest part. Make a row of small, even hills, like the bumps on a cloud.
- Draw the dipper last and keep both sides of the stick running side by side. Two straight lines that lean the same way look neat.
