Super Simple 4th of July Mason Jars

Easy Patriotic Mason Jars

 

Here is a really simple 5 minute project to be festive for Memorial Day and the 4th of July.  These vases are easy to make and no commitment- unlike spray painting a mason jar.

You simply tie some burlap and a little festive ribbon and you are done!  Plus I used one bunch of hydrangeas for $5 from Trader Joes and got 3 Mason Jars from the bunch.  Talk about inexpensive!

These literally take minutes to put together and you can use whatever size jar you prefer.  The smaller size jars I used are perfect for smaller arrangements of flowers, votive candles, to hold utensils, sparklers or glow sticks for the kiddos.

How to make patriotic mason jars

I simply cut a piece of burlap to fit around the jar.  I used glue dots to secure the ends to the jar in the back.  You can hot glue as well or just a piece of clear tape should hold it in place.

Then I took the ribbon and just tied it to fit.  I didn’t even secure the ribbon and it stays in place.  I used (2) different styles of ribbon that I picked up on clearance at Joann’s for $.89 each.

You can tie a little bow in front or just fit around the jar and tape the ends to the back- like a band.  These look good either way.

Here is how these look without a tied knot in the front and just the band of ribbon:

    I love this so much it actually inspired my wreath for this summer. Thanks for being so creative! If you’d like to see it you can look at it here http://www.lifeshouldcostless.com/2014/05/patriotic-wreath-for-summer-2014-with.html

    What size mason jar did you use? And what is the width of the burlap ribbon and accent ribbon that you used? It’s hard to tell scale in the photos. Where did you get the cut mums that you used in the Memorial Day photos? No Trader Joe’s near me anymore, unfortunately 🙁 These are really cute – thanks for sharing!

    Kelley- those are pint size jars. The ribbon is about 2 inches or so. You’ll probably need to see what is available at your store. I would look at your favorite store to buy flowers and see what white flowers they have available. Anything would work. Good luck!

    […] If you weren’t sold on the other two projects here is the one for you! Who doesn’t love receiving fresh flowers? Honestly, we have some mason jars with burlap around them in our house that I’ve made just to hold flowers so this one is definitely on my list as a quick Hostess gift. All I need is the patriotic ribbon and the flowers! Charlene from My Frugal Adventures shared this on her blog as “super simple” and she meant it. If you can tie a ribbon you make this vase! (if you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball – anybody?) I love receiving anything festive on a holiday to keep out on the table or around the house so these get a thumbs up. Full tutorial here.
