Painting The Jar

Step 1: Clean Mason Jar

Start with a clean and dry jar. You can wipe it down with rubbing alcohol, then allow to dry to get it really clean.

Step 2: Paint Mason Jar

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

NOTE: I find that painting with my hand inside the jar allows me to get all of the surfaces easily, then I allow 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, you can 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. You can 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. You can 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 dry, you can apply this to the front and lift up the transfer tape to leave your vinyl on the jar. Press down well.

Making A Mason Jar Tissue Holder Lid

Step 1: Cut Out A Circle From Cardstock

Use the lid you removed from the jar to 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 this 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 am using the “perfect fit” tissues from Kleenex as they work in the jar perfectly. You can also get the square boxes of tissues, but you may have trouble getting them in the jar. Remember that you want these to be removed from your top just like a box of tissues. With the upright version, I just removed the tissues from their packaging and dropped them right into my mason jar tissue holder. Then add the lid and pull one through the top to complete your craft project.

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.

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

Paint to match the colors in your home and add whatever vinyl you want to the front. You can even design your own art and have this mason jar tissue holder DIY say whatever you want!

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