This canning jar ring pumpkin is an adorable fall craft that can be completed in under ten minutes. This is where you will find the original design. 🙂
I knew I wanted to create some kind of pumpkin project, and when I saw my canning jar ring wreath that’s been hanging on the back of the front door, (you know, since CHRISTMAS), I got a brilliant idea.
Well, I thought it was brilliant, but you might think it’s lame. Whatever.
I figured, the shape and texture are perfect, why not turn it into a cute little junky pumpkin?
HOW TO MAKE A CANNING JAR RING PUMPKIN
To make the wreath, you just get a bunch of canning jar lids and string them together, tying the string tightly. The original idea came from Funky Junk Interiors.
All of the lids should be the same size.
I just stuck some cinnamon sticks in the center, and added a couple of burlap leaves.
It seriously took me about three minutes.
I thought about spray painting it white or orange, but I actually like the rustic quality of the tarnished gold and silver lids.
What do you think? Totally brilliant?or Totally lame?

Great idea! I am featuring this at somedaycrafts.blogspot.com. My readers will love this.
How many lids did you use.looks like about 18 or 20?
So, so cute! From the pic a friend posted on facebook, I thought it was from bent rulers and thought “Uhh…HOW!?” But this is so cute and so easy, i LOVE it!
Love! I am picking up some cinnamon sticks in this weeks grocery run and will definitely snag a few to do this. I might have to make them as a harvest gift for friends. I like the rusted look also but can see the cuteness of painting them and may have to do a couple although my husband may want them back for canning once fall is over. We’ll see.
So cool! I love it the way it is! Great job!
Very creative. I have about a million of those lids laying around here. I might just try this.
