Mason Jar Tissue Holder with Your Cricut

A mason jar tissue holder is not only a charming addition to your home decor, but it also makes a wonderful gift for occasions like Mother’s Day. That’s why I’m starting off Cricut Mother’s Day week with this project! Throughout the week, we’ll be creating various DIY projects, including this mason jar tissue holder, that are perfect for celebrating moms.

Painting The Jar

Step 1: Clean Mason Jar

Start with a clean and dry jar. I recommend wiping it down with rubbing alcohol, then allowing it to dry.

Step 2: Paint Mason Jar

Use a good quality paint like chalk paint and add a couple of coats with a paint brush. Be sure to allow it to dry in between coats and follow all package directions. You can even use spray paint for this step.

NOTE: I found that painting with my hand inside the jar allowed me to get all of the surfaces easily, then I allowed it to dry upside down.

Adding Bless You To The Front

Step 1: Download & Upload The Bless You File To Cricut

While your paint dries, cut the file with your Cricut machine. You can find the download instructions for the file above. Then just upload the file to Cricut Design Space. Click here to see how to do that easily.

Step 2: Cut Design From Vinyl

Then cut your file from the vinyl color of your choice.

Step 3: Weed Design

Weed away all excess from around your words as well as the centers of letters. See my tips for weeding here.

Step 4: Apply Transfer Tape To Vinyl

Apply transfer tape to your vinyl and press down well.

Step 5: Lift Backing From Vinyl

Lift the backing from your vinyl, leaving it stuck to your transfer tape.

Step 6: Apply Design To Jar

Once the jar is completely dry, you can apply this to the front and lift up the transfer tape to leave your vinyl on the jar. Press the vinyl letters down onto the paint well with your thumb after lifting the transfer tape.

Making A Mason Jar Tissue Holder Lid

Step 1: Cut Out A Circle From Cardstock

Use the lid you removed from the jar to trace and cut a circle from heavyweight cardstock with scissors.

Step 2: Cut An ”X” In The Center Of Cardstock

Then use a craft knife and self-healing mat to cut an “X” in the center of your circle. You want to make sure you do not go all the way to the edges with your “X,” as you still want this to be one piece.

Step 3: Add Cardstock To The Mason Jar Lid

Add the cardstock circle to the band for your lid, and you have a mason jar tissue holder lid for your project.

Adding In The Tissues

Just a few words about the tissues we are using here. I recommend using the “Perfect Fit” tissues from Kleenex, as they fit perfectly in the jar. While you can also use square boxes of tissues, they may not fit well in the jar. It’s important to ensure that the tissues can be pulled out from the top, just like you would with a regular tissue box.

After that, add the lid and pull one tissue through the top to complete your Mason Jar Tissue Holder.

As you can see, a tissue holder mason jar is so easy to make! Plus, it will look so much better around your home than the standard box of tissues and can be coordinated with your home’s colors and style.

Get your supplies and make one for yourself or as a gift for someone else. This one is perfect for Mother’s Day, which is coming up before you know it!

Grab your paint and match the colors in your home, and add whatever color vinyl you want to the front. You can even design your own art and customize it for your home.

Now I promised you some more Cricut Mother’s Day fun!
