DIY Primitive Inspired Mason Jar Vase


A bit pretty, a bit primitive. This skeleton key/primitive mason jar is simple to make and will add a lot of sophistication to any decor.

Difficulty level: Easy
Time required: 15 minutes
Age range: 10+

Things you’ll need:
Clear pint mason jar
Skeleton key
Jute twine
Natural jute ribbon
Hot glue gun and hot glue sticks

Things to do:
1. Unroll the jute burlap ribbon and wrap around the mason jar, cutting it to fit.

2. Fold the ribbon in half width-wise and cut along the fold, making the piece narrower.

3. Use one of the pieces from Step 2 and wrap around the jar, hot-gluing in place. Next, pull some twine off the ball and glue one end to the burlap, about an inch from the top.

4. Continue wrapping the twine around the jar as shown. Cut the end and hot glue it in place.

5. This is what it looks like when you’re done wrapping the twine.

6. Cut two pieces of twine long enough to wrap around the jar mouth and tie into a bow. Slip the key onto the two pieces of twine.

7. Tie the twine with the key around the mouth of the jar.
