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. 🙂
Canning Jar Ring Pumpkin
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?

UPDATED: Thank you so much to all of my wonderful readers and friends who voted in the Country Living Pinterest Pumpkin contest. I still can’t believe that I won. Also, a huge thank you to Country Living Magazine!!!
I’m so thrilled you all love this pumpkin so much. I’d love it if you would follow along on Facebook so you won’t miss any future projects!
If you would like to share this project, or plan to make your own, please do not use my photos without permission. Also, if you share your own, I would really appreciate a link back to the original. Thanks!

  57. 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.

  58. 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!

  100. I know this will sound ridiculous, but where are you tying them together so they don’t move around? I love them just the way you made then and if I can get them tied together, I would stick an LED light in the middle for sitting outside or on a porch. I think it would be really cute lite up. If you want to contact me about the tying part,my E-mail, is donnalgentry@hotmail.com. Thanks, great idea!

  101. Super cute! Love the rustic look of the old vs. new, gold vs. silver of the rings. Love it! Maybe put in a note that they are canning rings (also called screwbands), not lids. I mention this only because someone going out to purchase them might get confused. (You cannot buy the screwbands without the lids but you can vice versa.)

    • thanks for this. I was wondering why the lids had holes, and feared that I would have to cut them!!! You have saved me, and set me back on course for a ‘simple’ project. *Sigh*

  138. what a great idea you had. I took my rings and painted them orange and I used a small piece of wired ivy to tie my cinnamon sticks for the middle. It is sooo cute, thank you so much for sharing your idea.

  141. HI, This is my second post,my first one I said I may spray paint mine orange, but, I meant in addition to the natural ones, cause I too liked that look of
    the woren used one…I think I may just use a paint wash in orange instead so the charater can come thourgh.3 grouped together would look cute. Thanks again for sharing . Pamela 🙂

  152. Wish I hadn’t thrown out all my nasty canning rings earlier in the summer. Now the ones I have look a little too clean to use, but I’m going to make it anyway.

  172. This is ingenious! I am making one as soon as I am finished typing this comment. It doesn’t need spray paint as the various colors of the rings give it a unique and interesting look. Thank you.

  173. Hello, thank you for sharing your tutorial. I love the idea. I found a box full of mason jars last weekend at a yard sale and I was looking for some ideas to use them for crafts. And I stumbled upon your blog. I have included a link to your page from mine. I do hope that is ok. If not please let me know I will have it removed. Thank you again for the great post! http://dailydiylife.blogspot.com/2014/07/coolest-mason-jar-crafts.html

  176. I actually made this and painted it orange, added some fake leaves and flowers, along with the cinnamon stick and actually was able to sell them at a local festival for $10.00 a piece. thank you for the Idea and giving me the inspiration to take them a little farther to make my daughters clogging group some money.

  178. I saw this and thought it was so cute but when I tried to make it it didn’t turn out. I still have all of my orange painted jar rings in a pile I could not get them to fit together correctly in a circle. What is the secret? What did you tie them together with? I was so frustrated.

    Reply

    • Hi Charlotte. Sorry to hear you were having trouble. Make sure you have all the rings facing the same direction and arrange them one on top of the other on some twine or ribbon. Then tie the ends of the twine together. If it’s not working, you might need more or fewer rings.

  181. What an incredibly cute and clever idea. I want to buy mason jars just for the lids to make this. So different! I’m sure I could figure out a purpose for all of the mason jars. Thanks for sharing !

  184. While this is cute, these rings are the things I use over and over. Any ideas for the lids that we can’t re-use and that pile up a lot for those of us who are canning regularly?

  185. So this is the second time I’ve visited this sight today and I love these cutie patootie ideas…and they are so cheap and easy, not to mention clever.
    Love it!
