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?

i think you are a genius!!!!!! thanks so much for sharing! 🙂 i am going to make one (or two) 😉
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*
