The Simple & Charming Mason Jar DIY That Adds Style To Basic Chairs

Attention to detail in event decor is important, and one item that sometimes gets overlooked is seating. Adding something extra to chairs to tie them into your overall aesthetic is a game-changer, whether you're throwing a garden party or hosting an engagement dinner. Balancing the budget and these additional decorations is tricky. Fortunately, there are classic and affordable design trends to make this task easier.

In this easy yet enchanting DIY, you'll handcraft your own seating embellishments with jars, flowers, and a little ingenuity, which is a great way to set up your home for a memorable dinner party. Although mason jars beautifully complement the rustic, simple, and timeless elements of farmhouse decor, this DIY can be used to elevate several types of aesthetics, if done correctly. This shabby chic style evokes feelings of comfort and nostalgia, reminding us of the natural beauty in seemingly mundane things. With a few tweaks, you'll create a custom decorative piece your guests will fall in love with.

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.
