DIY Flower-Embellished Glass Jar Makeover

Are you ready to give new life to that old glass jar? Join me for a fun and easy upcycling project that turns it into a beautiful flower display! I’m excited to share this quick and simple project with you. You won’t need many materials, you might already have most of them at home. Let’s take a glass jar and add a few embellishments, paint, and other finishing touches!


Quick Video Tutorial


Materials Needed:

- One glass jar

- Acrylic paint

- Heating tool (optional)

- Paintbrush

- Embellishments (I'm using flower buttons)

- Ribbon

- Hot glue

- Scissors


Materials for embellished glass jar


Applying Paint to the Glass Jar:
Start by removing any labels from the glass jar and washing it thoroughly. Then, use a paintbrush to apply your chosen paint to the jar. I began with a coat of white paint, drying the paint between each coat with a heating tool. After the white layer, I added a pink coat over the white.




Adding Ribbon to the Jar:
Cut a section of ribbon and wrap it around the upper section of the jar. Before securing it, make sure you have the length you want. Attach the ribbon to the jar with hot glue, and trim any excess ribbon with scissors.



Adding Embellishments:

 I decided to add some flower buttons as embellishments for my jar. Use hot glue to attach them securely. Remember, you can also use stickers or other embellishments based on your theme.




Finishing Touches:
To complete the look, I added a few faux pink tulips that I had on hand. This beautiful jar is a great way to display faux flowers. If you prefer to use real flowers, consider applying a clear coat sealer or a water-resistant Mod Podge to protect the paint.



This project makes a perfect addition to your Valentine's Day or spring decor, or can be incorporated into various arrangements like tiered trays and more!

 

Thank you for joining me for this quick upcycled project. I look forward to seeing you again soon!

2 Easy Ways to Upcycle Glass Jars into DIY Candle Lanterns

I love taking something I already have around the house and giving it a little new life. These two jars started out plain and simple, but with a bit of gallery glass paint, a few butterfly stickers, and some gems, they turned into the sweetest little candle holders. They’re soft, colorful, and full of that handmade charm — the kind of gift that feels personal and thoughtful without being tied to any specific occasion. I used battery‑operated candles inside each jar, which gives them a warm, cozy glow while keeping things safe and easy. They’re perfect for gifting or adding a gentle touch of light to your own space. Video tutorial coming soon... Sometimes the smallest projects bring the softest kind of joy. In today’s quick video, I’m sharing how I decorated a few glass candle holders using paint, stickers, and little gem accents. It’s an easy, calming DIY that adds a warm glow to any corner of your home. I hope it inspires you to create something simple and beautiful for your own spac...
