Just choose your mason jar, decorate with glass marbles, jute, or washi tape, and slide in your favorite photo!

1. For Valentine's Day, we chose red flat glass marbles to lay in the bottom of the jar. We also glued some on the lid. We adhered a rhinestone strip with double-sided tape to cover the outer edge of the lid. To finish it off, simply slide in your favorite photo!

2. Have you heard of Washi Tape? The best way to describe it is that it feels like masking tape - very, very pretty masking tape! It comes in a huge variety of patterns and designs. We used it here to cover the edge of the lid, and again at the bottom edge where we actually used 2 patterns of washi tape. That's it! Just slide in your photo!

3. This rustic look is great for any occasion! To start, you'll need to glue an unfinished wood knob to the top of the lid. When it's dry, cover the entire lid (including the knob) with jute rope or twine using your favorite glue to hold in place. We repeated the same process at the bottom edge of the jar. When everything is dry, insert your favorite photo!

You could also include small items from a kid's childhood that were meaningful to her. A wedding photo in a jar could include the garter, the invitation (depending on the size of the jar), photo of the cake or the topper, etc.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us!
DeleteI see that you know how to work with mason jars and need help with a project. My sister is in college and for her birthday she asked for baking stuff. I am in charge of decorating jars and filling them with food. The jars have to be washable. I thought it would be cool to either get like clippings from magazines about food and paste them into a collage on the jar, but I don't know how to do this while it is still washable. Or putting photos on the jar with it still being washable. Any ideas on how to do this or where I can find out where to do this. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteGood morning, We are so sorry to reply so late... we have had some issues getting notifications when someone writes a comment/question. In regards to your project, you could try the dishwasher Mod Podge to adhere the photos to the jar. Here's a link to the official website for Mod Podge: http://modpodgerocksblog.com/2016/08/dishwasher-safe-mod-podge.html. Hope this helps!
DeleteI am wanting to make some of the mason jar pics as Christmas gifts. Will the picture stay in place on its own or does it need to be taped to the jar itself?
ReplyDeleteI think it will depend on the look you want. We didn't glue ours. We just rolled them a bit to give them a curve and then inserted them in the jars. Hope this helps!
