DIY - Decorating Glass Jars for Fall

As Seen On Organized 31

Cooler weather is coming and cozy, warm decor is making its way into homes. I'm not one to overhaul my entire home decor for each new season. I look for simple ways to bring seasons into my decor. Since I spend a good amount of my time in the kitchen each day, I usually start there. This year I decided I was decorating Glass Jars for fall to dress up my counters and pantry. It's a fun project that is actually relaxing to create and it's the perfect project for the craft-challenged.

INSTRUCTIONS

• Supplies
• Jars - I chose two sizes of glass jars. Clear Glass Mayberry Jars (stock # 4032-19) are great for storing and canning tomato sauce. I like them because they're large and perfect for holding staples like rice, flour, quinoa, cereal and granola mix. The Clear Glass Jelly Jars (stock # 4054-02) are ideal for jams, jellies, sauces and more. I like them for storing smaller amounts of staples like baking soda and baking powder and for nuts, raisins and candy.
• Permanent Markers - Choose warm autumn colors. Metallic bronze takes warm fall color to a sophisticated level.
• Leaves - Take a walk outdoors and collect autumn leaves or use fabric leaves from the craft store.
• Double Stick Tape

Instructions

1. Wash and dry the jars and lids well. Make sure the outside of the jars are thoroughly dry before starting.
2. Adhere leaves to the jar with double stick tape. You can add one large leaf or several smaller ones.
3. With a permanent marker, make dots to outline the leaves. Start at the edge of the leaf and work out from there. Be careful not to smudge dots before they dry well. Place dots close together at the edge of the leaf to create a crisp outline. You can choose how concentrated you like the remainder of the dots.
4. Decorating a glass jar takes about ten minutes to do one side. If you find the process as soothing as I do, keep going and enjoy decorating the entire jar.
5. Filled with pantry staples, they dress up your kitchen counter and cheer up a pantry shelf.
