2023 DIY Mason Jar Lid Fabric Flowers

Hello Sweet Friends,
Today’s project, DIY mason jar lid fabric flowers, could cost you as little as $0 if you have some scrap fabric and mason jar lids at your house. The flowers may take a little bit of time to create, but WOWZA do they look pretty awesome when they are finished.

I already had the mason jar lids and some fabric at home, but I have to admit that I did purchase a few “fat quarters” of fabric for two of the flowers I made, because I wanted a certain color. This would still be a very budget-friendly craft, even if you have to buy new supplies.

Gather up your supplies and come craft with me.

Supply list

canning jar lids/rings
30-40 fabric strips, 1” x 9” approx.
scissors
small piece of coordinating fabric for center
small amount of cotton batting
small foam board or cardboard circle
glue gun
dowel rod
green fabric or ribbon for leaves
buttons, optional

The first step for this project was to cut or tear the fabric into strips approximately 1” x 9”. I took the fat quarter of fabric (18” x 21”) and cut it into two 9″ x 21” pieces. Then without measuring, I ripped each piece into approximately 20 strips. I didn’t measure, I just eyed it and started ripping. There is no need to be exact with this. In fact, I think each flower looks more unique with slight variations in the size of the fabric strips.

For the next step, I began tying each individual strip of fabric onto one of the canning jar rings.

I just kept tying and tying until the entire ring was covered with “flower petals.”

To create the center of the flower, I had to cut a circle from foam board a little smaller that the lid, so it would fit. Originally I was going to use the lid top that came with the ring, but it was too large.

I added a little cotton batting, then glued the fabric onto the circle. Then I added a layer of burlap on top of that. (The pictures below are actually the lid top, but I redid it with a small circle of foam board)

I pressed the fabric circle into the flower ring. It can be secured with some hot glue if desired.

The I glued a small dowel rod onto the back to create a stem. Then tied a green piece of ribbon or fabric for a few leaves.

For a final flourish, I glued a few buttons into the center. And I had myself a super CUTE sunflower! I was just so THRILLED with how this turned out that I made a couple more to add to my next DIY project.
