Another Altered Jar Art Project

This was a very simple and quick project, but the end result is quite stunning in my humble opinion.

All it took was a cork stopper, which I had saved after the jar it belonged to had broken, one single rose and a little baby's breath.

The rose is an artificial one, but you can also use a dried rose for this project. If you opt to do so, then don't forget to spray it hairspray before you put it in. This enhances the colors and keeps the petals from falling off.

Hot glue the rose in the middle of the cork and arrange the baby's breath around it. Make sure the view of both rose and other flowers is equally as pretty from every angle before gluing them in place.

Put a good amount of hot glue on the bottom of the cork and carefully place it in the middle of the bottom of the jar. Put the lid on and cover it with florist tape, if you so desire.

I braided some colorful string and glued that around the jar, but a ribbon and bow may be another option, although the bow may be a distraction. Just give it a try and see what works best.

I loved this project; it was a nice way to stop and smell the roses! :-)
