I love mason jars! They are perfect as candle votive holders and placing a few jars together makes a perfect table centerpiece. Below I show you how to create a Fall look with your mason jars that can be used as a simple and elegant centerpiece for your Thanksgiving table. Hope you enjoy!
DIY Fall Votive Mason Jars
Supplies Needed:
- 3 mason jars (I bought mine at Dollar Tree)
- 3 ivory votive candles
- Brown Spanish Moss
- Ivory Twine
- Fake floral berries (I found mine on the arrangements that my fall leaves from above were on)
Directions:
- Unscrew the lids off your mason jars, remove the center canning parts and keep only the rim to screw back onto the top of your jar.
- Cut three sections of berries 1.5-2 inches long from your floral arrangement. Cut three pieces of 3-4 feet of twine.
- Make sure your lids are off your jar and grab a handful of spanish moss and stuff it into each one of your jars. In the center of the moss, burrow a small hole where you can put your votive candle so it will sit up straight and evenly.
- Once all jars have moss and votive candles situated in them, screw your lids (without the center) back onto the jars. Grab one piece of twine and wrap it around the gold rim of your mason jar holding one edge of the twine in your hand, after you have wrapped it around where now the other edge of the twine meets, tie a loose knot with 1 inch of space between your knot and the lid of the jar.
- Place one section of berries into the space between the jar lid and knot. Now grab the ends of your knot, pulling the berries onto the jar lid very tightly. Tie another knot so the berries are securely fastened to the jar lid. Cut any remaining ends of the knot. Repeat with remaining jars.
- Once all jars have berries and twine fastened to them, light your candles and place jars where desired to enjoy! :)
