Fall In Love With An Easy And Cheery Floral Mason Jar DIY This Autumn

As the weather starts to cool down in autumn, many people enjoy the beautiful weather and spend more time outside. However, this time of year can also be ideal for staying inside and crafting. If you want to make your home feel more cozy and look more aesthetic without spending a lot of money, there are so many fall decor ideas you can complete on a budget. This new idea combines flowers and scarecrows for a cute Mason jar DIY. You'll paint the jar to look like a scarecrow and then fill it with flowers — it's that simple!

There are so many different DIYs to make this fall, but this is definitely one you will want to try if you have extra Mason jars lying around the house. If you don't have any, you could purchase a pack of three 32-Ounce Ball Glass Mason Jars on Amazon. Then, begin by coating your Mason jar in a spray paint primer so the paint will adhere well. Next, paint the skin color of the scarecrow in whatever shade you desire; you could even just choose a fall color like orange, too. Using a pencil, outline the scarecrow's face, then fill in the face with paint markers. You could use the 24-Pack of Artistro Acrylic Paint Pens for this. Add some faux flowers and foliage to the jar, such as the Floral Garden Assorted Mum Bushes from Dollar Tree. Finally, glue some hay to the back of a bow and attach it to the jar's rim to look like hair. Display your piece anywhere you desire, from the entryway table to the kitchen island.

Like most DIY's, it is easy to make this scarecrow Mason jar project your own. Rather have a hat on your scarecrow instead of a bow? You can use the hay for a hairline by gluing it straight to the Mason jar. Then, create a hat border out of some burlap. You can cover the top of the Mason jar and not add any foliage or only glue the burlap around the rim and leave the top open to allow space for the flowers.

Are the flowers not staying how you would like? Add a piece of foam or a pool noodle inside the Mason jar first, then poke the artificial flowers into it. You could also use real flowers and some water instead of fake foliage. Also, rather than a scarecrow face, you could always try different styles. Try making a plain pumpkin or a jack-o-lantern. And, while you could make Mason jar lanterns that serve as the best Halloween night lights, you can always add an LED tealight to this DIY, too! Just go a little lighter on the paint to keep it transparent.

If you don't have any Mason jars, a leftover glass jar or a nut-butter jar will work as well. Try to upcycle what you have around the home instead of buying new jars to save money and the environment. If you do use Mason jars, you are likely to be left with lots of extra lids. You can reuse the lid rings for an adorable pumpkin DIY. Before long, your home will be filled with festive decorations that are fit for fall.
