They don’t take a lot of time to do but the outcome is just amazing. Burlap is so rustic and pretty. Alternate red and green burlap to make this mason jar centerpiece even more festive.

Let’s make this gorgeous Mason Jar Centerpiece!

This is one of my favorite holiday centerpiece ideas. It’s so pretty and the evergreen and cinnamon make it smell amazing.

Materials needed for Mason Jar Centerpiece:

• 3 pint sized mason jars
• white chalk acrylic paint 
• paint brush
• 200 grit sand paper (or try using a nail file)
• 3″ wide burlap ribbon in red and green 
• cinnamon sticks 
• small gold berries
• hot glue and hot glue gun  
• scissors
• raffia
• diagonal cutters

How to make this Rustic Christmas Centerpiece:

1. Paint the mason jars with paint. I used 1 coat because I wanted the brush strokes to show and the jars to look rustic. Let dry completely.

2. Once dry, lightly sand them. This allows the raised edges to show some detail. You can also create some scuffs on the side of the jars giving the pieces more of a rustic feel.

3. Cut 2 pieces of green and 1 piece of red ribbon by wrapping it around the jar and trimming so you have about a 1/2″ overlap.

4. Wrap one piece of ribbon around the jar and secure it with hot glue.

5. If necessary, trim cinnamon sticks with diagonal cutters.

6. Add a gold berry to each cinnamon stick and attach with a tiny dab of hot glue.

7. Attach the stick to the front of the jars with a tiny dab of hot glue. (This is the glue gun and hot glue I use)

8. Wrap raffia around the jar securing in a double knot on top of the cinnamon sticks. Trim ends. Repeat for the additional 2 jars.
