How to Make Fall Mason Jars

These fall jar crafts are so easy to make and you will love the way they look in your home.

Supplies

Pint mason jars
Burlap ribbon
Chalk paint
Paintbrush
Scissors
Twine
Hot glue and a glue gun
Letter stencil
Stencil brush
Flowers

Instructions

Paint each of the mason jars. Be sure to clean them well before painting. I like to use rubbing alcohol on the surface and allow it to dry before painting. Paint as many jars as you need for this project in whatever colors you like. I love chalk paint for this as one coat does the job!
While your jars are drying, cut your burlap ribbon to 11 1/2 inch lengths. You will need as many ribbons as letters in your design.
Stencil each ribbon with the letter of your choice. Be sure to protect your work surface and use a stencil brush for the best results. I am using a two layer stencil but you can choose a simpler letter if you would like. You can also use HTV and your Cricut machine for this step instead.
Once your ribbon and jars are dry, wrap each jar with one ribbon and hot glue in the back to secure into place.
Wrap twine around the top of each jar and tie in a knot. I also like to fray the ends of my twine but this is optional.
Add flowers to complete your fall mason jars.

Tips and Tricks When Making Fall Jars

If you are using chalk paint, one coat is generally good enough. For other types of paint, you may find that two to three coats is needed. Just allow to dry in between coats and stop when you are happy with the look.
When stenciling, load up your stencil brush with paint and remove all excess paint on another surface. Then carefully apply the paint to the stencil for optimal results.
Use silicone fingertips to keep you from burning your fingers when applying the burlap ribbon with hot glue. These allow you to touch the hot glue without burning yourself.
I like to fray the ends of my twine by pulling out the individual strands. This is optional as it gives a more rustic appearance.
You can add whatever fall florals you would like to the insides of your jars. Make your arrangement tall or short to accommodate where you are putting it in your home. You can also add in real flowers as the jars can hold water.

So, now that you know just how easy it is to make fall mason jars, what are you waiting for? Make a set of these cute jars for yourself as well as one for a friend or neighbor.

I added my set to my mantel but I could also see having these as the centerpiece at your Thanksgiving table. Maybe add a couple of more jars and spell the word THANKS instead of FALL? You seriously have so many options when it comes to this fall craft project.

If you need me, I will be adding more fall touches to my mantel. I love adding gorgeous fall color to my home every year to celebrate the season. These fall mason jars are a perfect way to do just that.
