Burlap mason jars are the epitome of charm in interior décor. Their rustic appeal can transform the ambiance of any celebration in a unique style.  Though the skills required are minimal, the attractive piece is undoubtedly a feather in your cap.

Decorating a Mason Jar with Burlap

Last year when my sister got married everyone decided on a country theme for the wedding. We were left racking our brains overnight for getting the perfect décor at an affordable price when I was struck by a brilliant idea of recycling my trash of used mason jars. I had learned about burlap mason jars in Get Inspired Everyday! and was raring to go. With a little motivation my team of siblings joined in and we churned out a laudable collection of burlap mason jars.

Materials

  • Burlap in any color of choice (or just the plain raw version)

Creative Ideas for Mason Jars with Burlap

Burlap and lace luminaries are the perfect ingredients for a romantic centerpiece. You can place lights or candles inside the quaint jars. Black lace also looks good on the plain burlap. If you don’t like lace, the rocking combination of gingham and burlap is worth giving a try.
