Transforming jars into floral chair decor

Before getting started on your chair decorations, you'll need a few materials. Canning containers are a common household item used for food preservation and storage. Rather than buying a new one, you can breathe new life into an old mason jar to save money on your chair decor. If you don't have an abundance of these containers at home, pick up a 12-pack at Walmart for $16.21. You'll also need fresh (or faux) flowers, wire, and ribbon. With supplies at the ready, it's time to get creative.

Step one is securing the metal cable around the neck of the canister. TikToker @eventdecorations opted for galvanized steel like the spools at Home Depot for 5.28. You can also purchase an eight-pack of wire jar hangers from Amazon for $11.69. Once secure, loop a ribbon through it and then fasten it to a chair with a bow. Fill the glass vessels with water and fresh flowers for a romantic floral feature your guests will remember. Whether you want to decorate a breakfast nook for a special occasion or embellish an outdoor seating area for a dinner party, this DIY jar decor is sure to dazzle.
