Decorate Mason jars with embossed and gilded papers

August 3, by Stefanie Girard. Leave a Comment

Stefanie Girard Crafter's COmpanion, recycled Mason jar

I’m pretty sure there are endless ways to embellish Mason jars. In this case all you need are some pretty colored papers, a snowflake embossing folder and a bit of silver gilding wax to make some awesome sparkly jars that can be used for all sorts of fun things!

To embellish a mason jar with colored paper is easy.

First up to get the paper to have the dimensional snowflakes you simply run them through the Crafter’s Companion Gemini Die Cutting machine with the Snowflake Embossing folder.

To enhance the dimension rub a bit of silver gilding wax on the paper. It can be fun to vary the amount. In some areas I put a very light coat and in others I went pretty heavy.

Then I placed the ring of the mason jar lid onto the snowflake paper and picked a spot that featured the snowflakes. Then I slid the original insert into the ring, removed the ring and then traced the insert.

Then I cut out the circle by hand.

I die cut the stars but you could easily cut those out by hand as well.

I punched a hole in one point of the star and tied it onto the lid along with a few jingle bells with some cording.

These jars are perfect for gift giving, decorating around the house or pop a battery powered tea light in and they would be really festive at night!
