Mason Jar Vase {Mother's Day Kid Craft}

Yesterday on Glued To My Crafts I shared a cute Mother’s Day gift idea in-cooperating little handprints. {If you missed it – be sure to check it out!} Today’s kid craft idea is a little more hands on for children and makes for a great gift. It’s also not just for kids either!

Recently Lil Man and I took a simple mason jar and turned it into a beautiful piece. It was really simple and something we could do together. He got to stick the tissue paper down, while I got to handle the glue. Teamwork at it’s finest.

If you are still on the fence on what to get the special ladies in your life this coming Mother’s day holiday – may I suggest you check out this tutorial? Who wouldn’t love getting a one-of-a-kind vase? Maybe the receiver would love beautiful flowers in it too ;)

Supplies:
* Mason Jar – lid removed
* Colorful Tissue Paper
* Scissors
* Mod Podge
* Paint Brush
* Decorative Twine or Ribbon

Directions:
* First cut up your tissue paper into 1×1″ squares.
* Starting on one side of the mason jar, paint a good layer of Mod Podge. Lay the tissue paper on top of the glue. Cover with another layer of Mod Podge to seal it all in. Continue until the entire mason jar is covered in tissue paper and Mod Podge. You will want it to look like patchwork.
* Let it dry completely.
* Tie some twine or ribbon around the jar. Fill with water & flowers.
