How to make Mason Jar Ring Wreath Christmas ornament:
Step 1: Glue one end of twine to the backside of the mason jar ring. Hold it down until it is completely cool.
Step 2: Wrap twine around the ring and continue wrapping until it is covered. Then every so often push twine together to make sure it is tight and all metal is covered. I use a craft stick to keep my fingers off of it.
Step 3: Cut off the end and tuck it under. Secure with hot glue.
Step 3: Tie on a twine loop for a hanger.
Step 4: Loop a 6” piece of wired ribbon into a bow. Glue at the top of your “wreath” covering hanger.
Step 5: Use fray stop on the ends to keep them from unraveling or a very light singe with a lighter will work as well.
Step 6: Glue on buttons for “berries” to your wreath for a final finishing touch.
