Three Easy Mason Jar Designs

 Hello! Today we'll be making three designs for mason jars. This project is quite simple and requires only one mason jar. We'll create three themes - a star/4th of July theme, a succulent theme, and a summer floral theme. For this craft, I had everything except for my decorative buttons. I managed to find two packs of decorative buttons at my local Walmart - one had cacti designs, and the other had floral designs. I'll take you through each step of how I used these buttons for the project.

Materials 

One mason jar- You will only need one jar for this project

Foam block- We are using three sections from the foam block. 

Craft knife- Used for cutting the foam block if not already cut into sections

Hot glue

Paint brushes

Decorative buttons, or any other decorative item

Floral

Paint- I'm using chalk paint on my mason jar. You will also need paint for your wooden stars if you are using them.

Twine

Optional-Foam stars

Creating your Star/4th of July design

Start by applying your paint onto your glass jar. I decided to use chalk paint since I always have better luck applying it to glass surfaces.  Apply a few coats, and allow it to fully dry.

Next, take your wooden stars, and apply your paint onto each star. I decided to go with red, white, and blue.

After, take your twine, and begin to glue your stars onto your twine. I spaced them just a little, and once I was done, I took my twine and tied it around my glass jar.  Be sure to not tie your twine too tight. 

Next, take your foam block, and cut a section of your block off. I used a longer foam block. Add your foam block into your jar, and begin to add your floral. For this, I used some red, and white faux floral. I also added some foam stars.

Creating your summer floral theme and succulent theme

Take each of your buttons, and begin to add them to your twine. You will do this for both your floral, and cacti. I used hot glue to add them onto my twine. Repeat the steps we previously did when tying the twine around the glass jar. Be sure to not tie it too tight. You want to be able to change the design, and easily slip each decoration off of your glass jar. 

Once you have added your buttons, take your floral snips, and begin to cut your floral, and succulents. Now you can take two new foam blocks, and begin to add in your floral, and succulents. I decided to use three foam blocks, one for each design because I found that it was easy to just remove the floral, and add the new floral in when it was already in place inside of the foam block. 

Your mason jar designs are now complete. I love the fact that you can easily switch to the next design. Please let me know which one is your favorite. Personally, I think the summer design is the best. Thank you so much for visiting and creating with me! I look forward to seeing you soon.
