Upcycled Glass Jar Autumn Decoration

 

Hello to all! I hope that you're doing well. I'm patiently waiting for Autumn to arrive. I've started creating a few Autumn decorations, and I'd love to share them with you. Today we are creating an Autumn upcycled glass jar decoration. This project is quick, and only uses a few materials. 


Video tutorial




Materials

One glass jar
Mod podge
Twine
Decorative napkin
Scissors
Paintbrush
Wood beads
Paint
Faux fall floral

Optional- battery-operated tealight candle


Start by taking your glass jar, and applying your paint. I left the top section of my glass jar clear. I only applied paint starting at the middle and ending at the bottom of my glass jar.


Next, take your napkin and remove the second layer. Once you have removed the second layer, use your scissors and begin to cut one section of your napkin. 


Begin to add your mod podge to the painted section on your glass jar. 


Take your napkin pieces, and begin to add them over the mod podge. Be sure to cut out any designs you will want to display on your glass jar. 




Take your beads, and begin to string them onto a section of your twine. Once you have added a few beads, cut and tie a knot on the bottom, and top sections of your twine. Be sure to leave a little extra twine on the top section of your beads.



Next, take your twine and wrap the twine around your glass just above the decorative napkin. Wrap it around a few times. Once you have done this, take your scissors and cut off the end of your twine. Tie off your twine. Be sure to leave just a little twine so that you can add your twine with your beads to it.

Take your wood beads, and add them to your jar. I tied my twine around the section of twine that was left over after I wrapped my twine around my jar. 


If you decide to use a battery-operated tealight candle, add it in before adding it to your floral. I love how it gives a soft glow. 




Your glass jar decoration is now complete. I hope that you enjoyed this simple craft. Be sure to let me know if you create your very own. Thank you so much for creating with me. I'll see you soon.
