Mason Jar Fun!

Do you love mason jars? Are you looking to learn about the best, most creative mason jar ideas for your handmade wedding? Well you have come to the right place! SKL has a bunch of new and fun ways to decorate mason jars to give your wedding that handmade touch!



Here is one of the many mason jar ideas: 
DIY Fabric Mason Jar Votives
 

















Let's get started! Just follow these steps!

First you will need to get the supplies:
1. Measure the height and circumference of your jar, and cut strips of fabric to roughly fit (approx. 1cm wide – doesn’t have to be perfect).
2. In your small cup, pour in some glue and dilute it with a bit of water (about 1:2), mix well. It should be the consistency of slightly thicker water.. yes, I know I’m being vague but it shouldn’t make much difference to the end result.

 3. Submerge your first strip of fabric in the glue. Once soaked, lightly run your thumb and forefinger down the strip to get rid of any excess glue.
4. Place the strip into your jar (pattern side facing the jar) and position it. Use your paintbrush to push any air bubbles out from between the fabric and the jar.
5. Repeat with the rest of your fabric. Allow to dry overnight before using.
Once you have finished adding the desired fabric to your jars you can insert tea-lights or real candles. However, if you decide to use real candles just make sure that there is enough room for the flame to breathe.

Happy DIY!!
