Ingredients
- 1 Glass jar: Clean with a smooth surface.
- Pressed flowers: Dry, flat flowers and leaves.
- Jute twine: Enough to wrap around the neck of the jar and tie a bow.
- Adhesive, such as Mod Podge: Suitable for glass and follows application and drying directions on the label.
- Scissors: For trimming the twine.
Instructions
- Clean the jar. Wash or wipe the glass thoroughly to remove dust, grease, and any leftover label residue. Let it dry completely before decorating.
- Plan your flower design. Arrange the pressed flowers on the jar before applying adhesive, trying different positions until satisfied.
- Attach the flowers. Use adhesive to secure the pressed flowers to the glass, applying as directed and handling delicate blooms gently.
- Let the adhesive dry. Keep the jar undisturbed while the adhesive dries, following the recommended drying time on the product instructions.
- Add the twine. Once dried, wrap jute twine around the neck of the jar, tie it into a bow, and trim the ends with scissors if needed.
- Add a candle if desired. You can place a candle inside the jar but be cautious as the decorations may be flammable.
Notes
For a safer display, it is recommended to use a battery-operated candle or keep any flame well away from the decorations. Handle the jar by its undecorated areas to prevent damage to the flowers.
