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?

Thanks for sharing your craftiness!
I actually really like this! AND, I like it just how it is, non-painted. Brilliant, easy, fun idea! I will have to try this!
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.
I ♥ it! What a unique, clever idea! Awesome! I shared on my blog with a link back to you! I’m happy to be your newest follower and would love for you to stop by for visit! Blessings ~ Judy
