Summer is right around the corner and I always like to add a variety of faux flowers throughout my home. Flowers will soften the look of your decor and add pops of color.I thought we could make a few flowers using mason jars lids.
You can find the list of supplies that I’ll be using down below.
1. Mason jar lids ( you can use any size that you want)
2. Hot glue
3. Drill and drill bit
4. Rug from Five Below
5. Small dowels
6. Scissors
7. Green paint
The first step is to drill a hole into the side of the mason jar lid ring. Be sure to make the hole the same size as the dowel you plan to use, so it fits securely in place.
Once you have the hole drilled you’ll then slide the dowel through the hole.
You’ll want to add some hot glue to help secure the end of the dowel in place.
Once the dowels are securely attached to the rings, the next step is to cut strips from your rug. If you don’t have a rug on hand, you can easily use fabric or ribbon as an alternative for this step.
I cut my strips about 8 inches long.
Next, fold each strip in half and place the folded end underneath the ring to begin forming your DIY flower.
Once the strip is folded in half, bring both ends up and through the loop to secure it tightly around the ring.
You’ll do this process going completely around the ring. Once the ring is covered you’ll then want to cover the round top piece.
Add a small amount of hot glue to the top of the ring, then wrap a strip of the rug around it to create a clean, finished look.
Once you have this piece covered you’ll then add some hot glue to the ring.
Once you’ve applied hot glue all the way around the ring, place the round lid piece on top to secure everything in place and complete the base of your DIY flower.
You can do the same process making different colored flowers.
Once your DIY flowers are assembled, you’ll want to paint the dowels to match your decor. You can paint the dowels at the beginning of the project or wait until the end—whichever works best for your crafting process!
These flowers will make a great decoration any where in your home. I hope you’ll get creative and give these flowers a try.
The Daisy and the Sunflower are my favorites!! These are so cute!!🩷🩷🩷see you tonight!
I like the white sunflower. One out of the canning jar lid. Cute
This is a very cute DIY. I’ll have to look for a rug when I’m out. Americana ones would look nice too in a white pitcher. Thanks for all your ideas Barb 🌺🌸🌼
Love this idea❣️ My favorite is the one that looks like a daisy and second is the one the looks like a sunflower. I’ll be searching tomorrow after work to see if I have supplies. Can’t wait to join tomorrow night!!!💦💦💦💦💦🌲🌲🌲
I love these! 🌼🌻
All different & unique. Favorite is dark center with tones of beige , brown & gold. Really pretty.
I like the brown and yellow one with the dots but I really love the other two as well!
Love these flowers. Usually I’m a color girl but I think I like the white one the best. I have all the supplies already. Going to give it a try.
They are all cute! Cream is my favorite!
I like color but on these flowers, I like them more neutral colors. They are also so pretty though.!!!
I love them all.
I love ❤️ the one with colors. They are all awesome. The white is also pretty 😍. I will be there on Friday night hangout. I love how creative you are Barb. 😍❤️
Oh these are cute, love the cream and brown, the colored is cute too but others go with my style of decorating
I love them all Barb, but my favorite one is the sunflower looking one.I just watched a lady make these flowers using the patriotic bandana’s from $ tree. I will be joining you and making them with you this friday night🥰

Love the sunflower. I want to do red white and blue to add to my porch .
I love these Barb! I will be there Friday night!
Love them all Barb, but I do like the dark centered one the best. I think doing a bunch of gold/yellow colered ones with a brown center would look like a bunch of sunflowers
Nice and easy project i like the brown one, but really all of them. I think I will make some and stick them in my tree..
Love them I will be joining Friday night can’t wait
