♥ Favorite Teacher Faux Succulent Flower Mason Jar Gift

I am back today with another Teacher Appreciation gift idea…..

When I found these green Ball mason jars in the store I grabbed a box because I thought the color was cool.

I had a couple of ideas of what I wanted to do with them, how to decorate, put inside, etc. and so happy with the end result.  Not too much decorating the bottle itself but the lid is what I spent my time on for this project.

This post contains affilliate links to products used in this project.  All opinions are mine only! ♥

Succulent flowers are the trend right now.  I am not going to say I am a huge fan of succulent flowers as I think they are kind of plain (oh no!) but they have a softness about them and are growing on me.

I glued the lid to the ring of the mason jar with E6000 glue.  I wrapped the edge of the mason jar ring with green chevron washi tape.

To make the faux succulent on top of lid – I used my technique I shared in this video of how to make burlap flowers using my cuttlebug.  I used green burlap and the Sizzix Big Die – Tattered Florals by Tim Hotz.  I just used the large flower in the set and layered on top of each other four times offsetting the petals.  I then used the two smaller flowers for the very top of inner part of the succulent.  Hot glue worked great.

For the label tag I wanted to use a chalkboard background.  I found a free one here at this site.

I imported the background into PicMonkey and used the program to make the wording on the tag.

I added the p.s. You were my favorite for a little fun. 🙂

 I used jute to tie the tag onto the jar.
