Large Centerpiece
If you have a large table to create a centerpiece for, I recommend going with this centerpiece from Etsy. If you want to make it at home, you’ll need a large box that fits the mason jars and plenty of paint! You could even add a few tea candles into your mason jars to create a soft glow in your home.
Simple Centerpiece
If you’re looking for something a bit simpler, you really cannot go wrong with filling a few mason jars with a bouquet of fresh flowers. Display the mason jar vases on a wood slice for added effect and don’t forget to enjoy what you have made!
Summer Mason Jar Ideas: 4th Of July
American Flag Mason Jars
Use red, white, and blue acrylic paint to create an American flag display on your mason jars. Though you can paint them freehand, I recommend using tape to create a stencil to follow. Use these adorable mason jars as storage for utensils or napkins during your 4th of July barbecue this year.
American Flag Candle Holders
Cut a few small stars out of a red bandanna and use Mod Podge to secure it to the mason jar. Once you have your jars covered, fill the bottoms with a bit of sand, and tuck a candle inside. Pretty easy right? Full tutorial here.
