I started off by removing the lids to the mason jars, flipping them over and covering them in the Orange Mod Podge Sheer tint. You can follow the directions on the bottle and swirl the paint on the inside of the jar, however since I wanted to fill these with treats, I painted the outside.

The more layers of tint, the more vibrant the color! It looks milky when it’s wet but gets vibrant and transparent when dry. I did two good thick coats.

While the paint was drying I removed the labels from the tops of the jar lids. If you need a great way to Easily Remove Labels <—I have you covered. Then I glued the jute twine around the collar of the lid using my hot glue. Glue in small increments.

Continue on until the whole collar is wrapped in the twine.

For the stem, I made some washi tape vine curls and used a cork as the stem.

Hot glue the cork and the vine curl in place.

The tags came with some cream twine however I wanted to add a bit more color so I used some green twine. I wrote the names on the tags.

I am an artist and often created mixed media pieces. I would love to use the Cricut to make some precisely cut elements to incorporate into my artwork.
Christy Spurlock says
I want to make labels for my pantry and for all my glass containers that holds my flour, sugar, tea, etc.

I think I’d start out by making some beautiful St. Valentine’s Day crafts!
