Ornamented Christmas Jar: Embellished with Metallic Wire Wrapping
In the spirit of the holiday season, a unique DIY project has emerged that adds a touch of sophistication to rustic mason jars - the Metallic Wire Wrapped Plaid Fabric Christmas Mason Jar. This project is part of a series of Metallic projects led by a group of talented bloggers, including Girl Loves Glam, The Happy Housie, Giggles Galore, 52 Mantels, Cherished Bliss, and That's What {Che} Said...
The Metallic Wire Wrapped Plaid Fabric Christmas Mason Jar serves as an accent for Christmas decor, transforming a simple mason jar into a charming rustic Christmas decoration. To create this enchanting piece, here's what you'll need: a painted mason jar, a scrap piece of plaid fabric, craft wire (specifically gold wire, which can be found at Michaels), and various items to fill the jar such as Christmas Floral Stems, poinsettias, mini Christmas Trees, or even plastic bags to keep contents in place.
To wrap a mason jar with plaid fabric and metallic wire, follow these steps:
- Prepare the Fabric: Cut a piece of plaid fabric large enough to wrap around the mason jar, leaving enough length to cover the sides and overlap a bit. You can fold the fabric neatly or cut it in a shape that fits well around the jar.
- Wrap the Jar: Place the fabric around the jar and smooth it out so it fits snugly. You can fold the bottom edge under for a cleaner look, tucking any excess fabric beneath the jar or securing it inside the lid area.
- Secure with Metallic Wire: Use a thin, flexible metallic wire to wrap around the jar over the fabric. Wrap it a couple of times near the neck or middle of the jar to hold the fabric firmly in place.
- Add Decoration: Twist or curl the metallic wire ends for decorative effect and to ensure the fabric stays secure. You can shape the wire into a bow or spiral for a festive look.
This method combines fabric wrapping techniques with wire securing, creating a charming rustic Christmas decoration ideal for mason jars. While specific step-by-step instructions for plaid fabric and metallic wire on mason jars may not be readily available, general advice on fabric wrapping jars and making wire handles for jars confirms these key steps and materials are effective for this kind of craft.
In the example provided, a little Christmas Floral Stem was placed inside the fabric-wrapped mason jar, and scented pinecones were used for additional festive aroma. The metallic wire wrapping method used for the Christmas Mason Jar creates a contrast with the plaid fabric, adding an element of sophistication to the rustic mason jar.
This project is described as quick and suitable for busy individuals, especially those with children, making it an ideal activity for families to do together during the holiday season. So, gather your supplies and join the Metallic project series in creating your own Metallic Wire Wrapped Plaid Fabric Christmas Mason Jar. Happy crafting!
