But if you’re planning a wedding for another season, you can customize the color palette with any of our designer flower boxes. Let's begin assembling your mason jar masterpiece! How to make your DIY Mason Jar Step 1. Prep the Mason Jar First, place your mason jar onto a nearby table. Next, grab your masking tape and cut two small strips that would fit across the neck of the jar. Take these two strips of tape and lay them over the opening of the jar,forming a plus shape. This will create four even sections of your jar where you’ll place your flowers later. Step 2. Create Your Hook Now it’s time to create the most important part of your decoration, the hook. First, lay out a lengthy piece of string across your table. Place your mason jar cap face down in the center of the string and lift the string upward to your desired height. The height will determine how long or short your hook is. Next, you’ll remove the string from your roll by snipping it at the ends and screwing the cap onto the mason jar to secure your hook. Step 3. Trim down your Stems To create an arrangement with a blossoming appearance, you can trim your flower stems into varying sizes. Alternating between flowers that stand a few inches above the rim of the jar and stems that are the exact size of the jar will give your arrangement a lifelike appearance. Step 4. Fill in the jar with Flowers Prepare for some floral fun! Here is where you will begin placing in your flowers and greenery. First, place fern leaves and eucalyptus from your designer box. This will create a cozy foundation for your flowers to rest in. Try to fill out each of the four quadrants evenly. Next you’ll place in your roses. Alternate between emerald, white, and beige roses to create a lovely pattern and realistic touch. Let your inner child play and allow your creativity to flow! Step 5. Finishing Touches Your arrangement is almost complete. It’s time to add in your filler flowers. Add in your dried rose leaf, white poppies, champagne hydrangeas, and beige dandelions. Use them to fill in any open spaces in your arrangement. Or if you’re feeling crafty, you can set them aside to create another jar. The more the merrier! The last and final touch is to trim the excess string off the sides of your mason jar, leaving only the hook. Voila, your hanging DIY mason jar is complete! Now that your masterpiece is complete it’s time to find a place to hang your wonderful decoration.
