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?

February 2, 2016 at 9:02 amWhile 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?

August 19, 2015 at 7:52 pmWhat 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 !

August 16, 2015 at 1:42 pmI love this idea! I use my mason jars to store things and for photos and have a ton of those rings that I never use- this is the perfect little craft for fall, I can’t wait to make one!

August 4, 2015 at 7:38 pmI 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.
Kristin says
August 14, 2015 at 3:01 pmHi 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.

November 4, 2014 at 6:35 pmI 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.
