Remember our washi tape feature? Pick your favourites and get sticking with this ‘so simple, even a child could do it’ task!
Wrap jars of all shapes and sizes in simple florist’s twine – perfect for an outdoor rustic celebration. We love the effect these jars give when dressed with simple blooms.
Use jam jars to create unique pew ends by using twine, string, ribbon or wire and hang from your pews with pretty flowers draping from them.

Glitter jam jar anyone? Yes please, we say! Simply dip your jars in sparkly paint, which can be picked up from most craft shops in a range of colours, tie with a pretty bow and add some sweet gypsophila for a sweet table centre idea.
