Mason jar crafts have become a phenomenon over the past 2 years, to say the very least. I, for one, am a huge fan of incorporating them into my home decor whenever possible. You combine mason jars with my papercrafting obsession, and it is almost more excitement than a blogger like me can withstand. Well, those two worlds collided for me in this Sizzix Canning Jars Die by Eileen Hull. Today I am sharing how I used it on some recycled cardboard and fall patterned scrapbook paper to make this fun garland adorning my headboard.
I told you about Eileen Hull’s Picket Fence Sizzix line a few months back, and am having as much fun with it as I predicted I would!
For this project, you will need:
Eileen’s Sizzix Canning Jars, 3-D
Fall or other patterned scrapbook paper; I used Recollections Harvest Delight
Corrugated Cardboard
Jute or other twine
Mini Clothespins
Tim Holtz Distress paint Silver
Ranger Distress Ink Vintage Photo
TUTORIAL:
Die Cut the larger jars out of paper and cardboard
Adhere paper to cardboard with Paper Cement or favorite adhesive
Cut tops out of corrugated cardboard and adhere to jars with 3D foam squares
Paint tops with silver distress paint, or leave as they are. they look cool either way!
Ink edges with distress ink on foam applicator and attach to twine with clothespins.
I love my garland, and have several more projects in mind for this die alone. Make sure you visit Eileen at her blog for tons of inspiration! You will want to set aside a chunk of time and be ready to watch your creative project to do list grow!
This is perfect across the headboard. Love the color combos you used with your bedroom decor. Cute, cute … I want that die! 🙂
I saw a GORGEOUS dorm room with a mason jar garland and some flowers in each jar, and this would be soo much cheaper and just as pretty. For the stems I could adhere twigs to the front and stick some flowers on the top and put a gloss on top! It seems so confusing, I know, but it’s gorgeous in my mind! «3
