Hanging Jar Tutorial

Hey friends!   I know, twice this week!!  It felt so good to create my last post after being absent for a bit, so I wanted to share a super easy DIY in time for your Easter celebrations.  I found the idea for my latest creation on Pinterest, and wanted to share my take on it with you.  I didn’t spend one penny, so I hope you don’t have to either!

Speaking of Pinterest, I invite you to follow me if you aren’t already.  What an amazing platform when it comes to sharing ideas, wow.  I feel like I go in spurts with Pinterest, but as of lately I am pinning like crazy, so go check it out!

I love adding just a touch of coastal vibe into our home.  One, we live by the lake, so I think it’s only fitting.  Two, the beach is my favorite place to be, so bringing a few salty air touches into our home brings me peace.

A few years back, I found this piece of driftwood on the beach and brought it home.  I cleaned it, applied a white wash to it, and had Glenn screw it to the wall.  I loved how that simple piece made a statement among my gallery wall.  So when I came across this photo on Pinterest (see below) I had to try this idea with my piece of driftwood.

Talk about easy!!  Here’s what you need:

  1.  Jute, or any type of strong string or chord
  2.  Small jars
  3.  Driftwood piece or branch
  4.  Scissors

I didn’t end up using the pompom string pictured here.

Cut a piece of jute and wrap it around and under the lip of your jar, and tie a knot.  Then measure how long you wish to have your jars hanging.  I wanted mine to be different lengths.

Since my piece of driftwood was already hanging, I had to assemble with having someone help me.  So, fold your jute in half, wrap it around your piece of wood and loop the 2 ends through the top.

Then tie each loose end to a side of the first string your wrapped around the lip of the jar.  Repeat with other jars.

I added a small amount of water to all 3 and snipped a few green plants.  It’s so charming isn’t it?  What a fun way to root new growth.

But these daffodils stole the show.  So simple and elegant!! I love it when something that appears easy to accomplish, REALLY IS!

I had all the materials on hand, I hope you do too!  This would be a simple idea on a larger scale as a backdrop for your Easter dinner this weekend!  I can’t wait to put some tulips in these <3

Before I go, I have a fun tutorial for you when dying those Easter eggs this weekend!  Follow this → link for a natural egg dye, using chemical free, everyday, edible ingredients!

Thanks so much for joining me today.  I wish you all a blessed Easter <3
