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.

  5. This is so super cute. My mom has 5 boxes of canning jar rings. I’m going to snitch some. This would be cute painted red for a teacher. Love this!

  6. Brilliant! So simple and yet so wonderful! And I too love it without the paint. Thank you for sharing your talent! Absolutely is NOT lame!

  7. 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.)

    1. 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*
