Y’all are going to love making Thanksgiving mason jars. This is the perfect craft for your Thanksgiving decor this fall. Plus these mason jar Thanksgiving centerpieces are so easy to make! Grab your mason jars and get started on this gorgeous craft idea today. I started out by really wanting to put a quote on a mason jar. It took me a few tries to get this one just right but y’all can benefit from a project that works great the first time and in just a few minutes!
Thanksgiving Mason Jars
I am going to share one way to make these thankful mason jars with stencils but you can also use your Cricut machine to cut vinyl to use as stencils.
Supplies to make mason jar Thanksgiving centerpieces:
- Wide mouth quart mason jar (this is the version I used and it is plain on the back with no embossing)
- White spray paint
- Elmer’s Painters Paint Marker in Gold (fine tip)
- Hazel and Ruby Word Stencils
- Hazel and Ruby Letter Stencils
- Metallic gold cord
How to Make Thankful Mason Jars:
I actually created a super short 6 second video to show you the process below. I have written instructions below the video in case you can’t follow along. But I am telling y’all this is one easy mason jar craft!
Here are the step by step written instructions just in case you need them:
- Be sure to wash the mason jar well before beginning. I actually recommend wiping down with rubbing alcohol.
- Apply peel and stick stencils onto your jar to spell out the desired quote. I used “be thank FULL” on my jar. The top two lines are from the words stencil pack. I used the letter package to make the “full”. Apply to the side that has no embossing. You can also make these stencils from vinyl and your Cricut machine.
- Press down on stencils to make sure they have adhered well. I personally love the peel and stick stencils but you can also try cutting out vinyl or contact paper in the letters and words that you need.
- Spray entire jar with white spray paint until completely covered.
- Allow to dry and remove the peel and stick stencils. Remove carefully and use a craft knife to cut if the paint is lifting.
- Trace each letter with the Elmer’s Painters Paint Marker in Gold. This is why the fine tip version is important. Allow to dry.
- Wrap the top of the jar with the hemp cording and tie.
- Add to your Thanksgiving decor this fall!
I love that you can see through the letters into the jar! This Thanksgiving mason jar craft is perfect for your home.
