Ribbon and Pearl Jar Craft-
I try and recycle, upcycle, repurpose and reuse whenever possible. I took a couple of very plain jars ( an olive jar and a jam jar) and added some silky ribbon and pearls for this pretty Ribbon and Pearl Jar Craft . I love the idea of using bakers twine, lace, jute, string and other goodies to cover a jar or bottle too.
I found some other pretty examples from around the blogosphere I thought you might like.all images from the blogs mentioned
These bottles are from The Bridal District I like the use of two different types of twine.
I found these twine wrapped mason jars at Notes On A Wedding
The rustic look of this jar from Simply Homemade is perfect for this lovely bloom.
Adding bits of lace made these jars from Something Turquoise ( don’t you love that name?) beautiful. Adding lace often does.
I had to add these sweet pots too by Third Floor Design!
I sell ribbon bottles and jars in my shop too 🙂
What have you covered jars and bottles with? I’d love to see what you have done. I hope you will give this simple Ribbon and Pearl Jar Craft a try.
Hoping your weekend is a happy and creative one.

LaDonna says
What a wonderful idea! I usually take the label off the jars and load in the dishwasher before putting out in the recycle bin.
I think maybe I could something with some of them!
Thanks for the inspiration! So sweet!

I just saw in World Market a candle wrapped in twine to give a beachy look. I want to try that! I love your ideas. I like bottles a lot. My sister in law has a kiln and melts wine bottles into cheese servers. They are so neat. My son is getting married in a few weeks and I want to save some of the bottles from the wedding and have them flattened out for a useful memory. Nice post.

Your jars are wonderful! I love all the twine you have used on them. I tend to think of old book pages, how fun to see something new I can use. Great idea!
Thanks so much for visiting me this Pink Saturday!

I love them all. And, how charming for tables for a wedding reception. My cousin is planning to use something like this for her daughter’s wedding reception.
Maureen @ Orgasmic Chef says
I’ve never decorated jars before but these look beautiful. I’ve always filled mine with preserves. 🙂

I’m not so creative with stuff like that. Yours are pretty and I am content to enjoy the view from here. LOL!

This a lovely idea. The jars look amazing.
Deborah says
I like this idea. They are really cute. I am going to have to try it!
Terry says
Those are all very pretty. I have not covered jars with anything since I was a kid. We would cover them with tiny bits of masking tape, the use brown shoe polish over the tape.When done right it would look like the jar was covered with old leather.
Maureen says
Yay, another use for the twine from hay bails! I have to try this.
Linda says
I love those jar ideas and they are all pretty! Years ago my dad used baby food jars and glued rows of five to all sides of a thick piece of wood. This he somehow made so it could rotate… don’t ask me how. It was used to store nuts, bolts, nails, scews… I have no idea what happened to it though. Your jars brought back this memory. Thanks! Haven’t thought of that in years.

Ms. A says
Katie, yours are very elegant. I haven’t done anything with jars, lately, but I have tons of them. I used to paint and decoupage them.
