DIY Mason Jar Lid Pumpkin

November 27, 2014 by Sahily Perez

I’m always looking for ways to decorate my home for the season and it’s hard to think of harvest without pumpkins. I wanted to add a few pumpkins to my living room décor for my upcoming Thanksgiving celebration at my house. I had a ton of Mason Jar lids left over from my recent DIY Glittery Mason jar project (you can check out the tutorial here), so I decided to create a Mason jar pumpkin.

The Mason jar lip pumpkin can spruce up the décor in your house, or can be used to decorate your table spread on Thanksgiving. It’s also very easy to create and may be a great project for the kids to do on Thanksgiving Day (with some adult supervision of course) to keep them busy while you prepare for festivities.

DIY-Pumpkin-1

Supplies Needed:

  • Scissors
  • Hot glue gun and glue
  • Twine
  • Branch
  • Mason jar lids (I used 17)
  • Floral Accent with Burlap Petals (purchased at Michael’s)

Steps:

Step One: Cut a 12-inch piece of twine and loop all 17 Mason jar lids on the twine. Make sure all of the lids are facing the same direction, so they have a uniform look.

Step Two: Create a circular share with the lids and tie a firm knot in the twine.

DIY-Pumpkin-4
Step Three: Gently shape the lids to form a circular pumpkin shape

DIY-Pumpkin-5

Step Four: Place hot glue on the base of your branch and place it in the hole at the top of your pumpkin.

DIY-Pumpkin-7

Step Five: Using the decorative floral accents cut off a few of the flower petals. Use a few different sizes for a better design aesthetic.
Note: If you don’t have access to the floral accent piece, you may cut petal shapes out of burlap.

DIY-Pumpkin-8

Step Six: Glue the petals on the branch (stem of the pumpkin) and allow them to dry.For an added decorative touch, you may tie a bow around the stem using the twine.

Optional Steps: Prior to starting the project, you may spray paint your Mason jar lids in your desired color choice(s). I chose to keep them silver to coordinate with the industrial design elements in my living room.

    This is a neat idea. Today I’m going to be at my mother in laws house for Thanksgiving and she loves doing crafts. I’m going to tell her about this idea and I’m sure she’ll love it.

    That’s clever. It looks nice with the flowers. Now I know what to do with some of the Mason jar lids that we have that clutter up the drawers.

    Ok, I had friends in my home last night complimenting me on my creativity in DIY decorations , but–you win. 🙂 I wish I had seen this earlier in the season but it is on my list for next year’s creations.

    So my mother in law had already heard of this and really liked it. I believe she said she had made one before.

    Love this idea! I think I’ll have the folks at the local drop in center work on making a few of these for our Holiday party. Thanks for a great, simple project!

Having skin blemishes is no fun & not part of any girls plan. Loved that Differin Body Wash worked fast and was great for my sensitive skin!

Had to share my cute order from @sugoimart - Box 2 Had to share my cute order from @sugoimart - Box 2 of 2 included 2 Sakura Lucky Bags (all Japan-exclusive items). These bags were 100% worth it & oh so adorable! When this box arrived from #sugoimart it was under pressure from all the items in these two bags. It includes some cute sakura season #Sanrio items #dogplush , tea, soda, beauty items, stationery & more. While there were some duplicate items, not as many as the #SanroiLuckyBag . If you are considering buying this bag - go for it! While I wish the second bag had a plush rather than a #sakura themed toy, I definitely think it was the gamble! #LuckyBag #Sakuraluckybag #Japan #Japanexclusive #HelloKitty #Cute
