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.
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.
wow these are great, I love the ones with the string tied around them, you have inspired me to try to do the same! thankyou!
I love using jars for vases and the string is a great idea! I will be back for the Blog Hop next week!! have a great weekend, katie!
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.
Yay, another use for the twine from hay bails! I have to try this.
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.
I like this idea. They are really cute. I am going to have to try it!
This a lovely idea. The jars look amazing.
I’m not so creative with stuff like that. Yours are pretty and I am content to enjoy the view from here. LOL!
Hugs.

I’ve never decorated jars before but these look beautiful. I’ve always filled mine with preserves. 🙂
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.
Pretty!! Happy PINKness Day!
Lovely jars!! I love having some beautiful glass jars in the kitchen.
What a great post and reminder to recycle and reuse what we already have 🙂
Great idea! They make wonderful gifts that you can personalize.
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 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.
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!
Absolutely gorgeous! Happy pink Saturday.
Come and see my PINK entry, when you get a chance, thanks!
