Decorating Mason Jars with Burlap
This simple fall mason jar craft can be made in a matter of minutes! And once you have the jar decorated, you can use it however you want! Scroll to the bottom of the post to see some decorating ideas for your finished craft.
One of the easiest ways to decorate a plain mason jar is with ribbon. And a roll of burlap ribbon is perfect for adding a rustic touch to your jars in a matter of minutes.
To decorate a jar with burlap ribbon, unroll the ribbon and wrap it around your jar. Cut the ribbon, making sure to leave a small amount of extra ribbon to overlap the end.
Add a line of hot glue to the back of your jar and place one piece of the ribbon on the glue. Hold the burlap in place until the glue dries, then glue the other end over the top of the first end.
Turn your jar around so the front of the jar is facing you. Grab a faux leaf and line it up in the center of the jar. Glue the leaf in place with your hot glue gun. Then, add more leaves to each side of the jar.
Use a pice of twine to finish decorating the fall jar. Wrap the twine around the center of the jar several times, then tie a bow in the front. To hold the twine in place, you can add add small drop of glue under the twine at the back of the jar.
After your jar is decorated with burlap, you can fill it. I used fall flowers to fill my jar, but there are so many other fun possibilities!
Fall Mason Jars with Burlap
Now that you have your jars finished, it’s time to use them in your autumn decor! There are so many fun ways to use your fall mason jars to accent the rest of your seasonal decorations.
If you’re looking for ways to decorate with your Christmas mason jars, I have plenty of ideas for you:
Add floral picks to create a fall display. This is what I did! I grabbed a few floral picks and added them to the jar to create a fall floral arrangement inside each jar. Then, you can display the jars where ever you need some added fall color.
Decorate with leaves. Instead of using flowers to fill your burlap jars, try using branches of fall leaves. Ore use a combination of flowers and leaves for a unique fall arrangement.
Make several jars to make a fall centerpiece. Use your burlap mason jars to create a Thanksgiving craft to decorate your dining room table. You can fill the jars with holiday florals to create a rustic display for Thanksgiving dinner.
Add candles to create luminaries. Place a candle inside the jar to create a pretty light display for the fall using your mason jars.
Use fillers from nature. Fall is full of fun seasonal fillers you can use to decorate the inside of your jar. Try adding natural elements, like acorns, or scented pieces, like cinnamon sticks, to fill your jars.
