Fall Crafts: 3 Easy DIY Jar Projects

 

Fall Mason Jar Candle Holders

All you need to make some wonderful autumn candle holders are mason jars, mod podge and sponge brush, fake or real autumn leaves, twine or ribbon for the final touch and battery tea lights.

To make them, clean the jars thoroughly and prepare the leaves. Try to use bendable leaves, since they will be easier to attach to the jar. Apply a thin layer of Mod Podge and stick one leaf on the jar. Then apply as many layers of Mod Podge are necessary. Continue by covering the jar with more leaves, one at a time. When finished, you can use some clear varnish for sealing. Next, decorate the candle holder with the ribbon and you are ready to place the candle inside.

For an even easier craft, add to mason jars seasonal items and small glass candle holders to instantly have some wonderful candle holders.

Painted Fall Mason Jar Vases

All you need to make beautiful vases out of mason jars is some paint and a brush. You can use any paint or chalk paint, just choose some nice fall colors, like orange, yellow and brown. To give them a rustic look, use some sandpaper after the paint has dried. You can now use stencils and acrylic paint to spell a meaningful message on the vases. Another option for decorating the vases is to wrap burlap and twine around them. All you need now are some fresh or fake fall flowers and a nice spot to place your vases.

Hanging Leaf Chandelier

To make this easy but beautiful chandelier, just drill a ¼ inch hole in the jar’s lid. Take a piece of rope and pull it through the hole. Tie a knot under the lid. Now place some leaves into the jars and secure the lids. Alternatively use other fall items, like acorns, tiny pumpkins or even candy corn. Repeat this with a few more mason jars and then tie the rope pieces together. Now you can hang them using a heavy-duty ceiling hook.

Mason jars are so easy to decorate and so versatile in their use. They can be used purely for decoration, but they can be also put to practical use, for storing food or small utensils. Use seasonal items to give them a warm fall touch.
