Equipment

  • Cricut machine (Maker or Explore series)

What You Will Need

Instructions

  • Design your mason jars in Design Space.
    You can find some mason jar designs inside of Cricut Design Space to cut your burlap. You can find free mason jar shapes right in Design Space or find a free SVG that you like.
    Click on images on the left-hand side and search for mason jar. Then filter for free by checking the box at the top of the screen. Scroll until you find something that will work.
    Then click make it.
    You can also free-hand the shape or trace a mason jar shape you already have at home if you don’t own a Cricut. Seriously the mason jar shape does not have to be perfect and you can free-hand something that will definitely work!
  • Cut your fabric.
    You can cut fabric with either a Cricut Maker or Explore, but there are some differences depending on which machine you have. If this is your first time, make sure to read my How to cut fabric with a Cricut post here first.
    Since burlap has a high chance of fraying, I’m going to cut bonded fabric for this project.
    Start by cutting two identical mason jar shapes from the white burlap with your Cricut.

  • Paint the bottom of your mason jars with the Blue Bahama paint and the top with Grey Skies. A good thick coat is needed. Be sure to protect your work surface as the paint will go through the burlap. Allow them to dry completely before continuing.

  • Paint both pieces with patio paint. Mix the black and white paint to come up with a very dark grey paint. Add your monogram with this paint. The bottom of your jar should be blue while the top should be gray. Allow to dry.

  • Paint on white lines for the lid and all the way around the outer edge. Allow the paint to dry.
  • Put the shapes back to back. Trim with scissors and touch up the paint if needed.
  • Stitch the sides together using your sewing machine. Be sure to leave the “lid” portion open on the sides as this will be where your flag hanger will go through.
