Pressed Flower Jam Jars

This is an inexpensive project. I created these pressed flower jam jars with my daughter as a half-term project. They look lovely with tea light candles or they can be used as a jar to hold small posies of flowers.

You will need:

  • Jam Jars

  • A selection of pressed flowers

  • Mod podge glue

  • Small paint brush

  • Small bowl for the glue

  • Tea light candles

  • Small bowl with soapy water

Step 1:

Select jam jars of different sizes and heights.

Step 2:

Select the pressed flowers you wish to use.

Step 3:

Pour a small amount of mod podge glue into a small bowl.

Step 4:

Carefully glue the back of the petals. Use a piece of paper to lay them on before gluing. Then, carefully stick the flowers to the jam jar and hold them in place for a few seconds. If you see excess glue seeping out onto the glass, simply wipe with a cloth and some soapy water (you don’t want to see the dried glue through the glass).

Step 5:

Wait for the glue to dry and then add the tea light candles and enjoy your creations!
