One thing I miss about living in Wyoming, was that we were so close to Colorado. At any given time during the fall season, we could hop in the car and make a day out of apple picking. It was like a dream come true for our fall bucket list. Kinda wish we took more advantage of it when we lived there {typical regrets when you move every few years!}

Now that we live in Tampa Florida, apple picking {or even a pumpkin patch visit} isn’t exactly an option. There are some alternatives but it’s not the same when it’s nearly 90 degrees outside and you are wearing shorts & flip flops. Oh well… I guess we will make due with apple picking inspired crafts instead :-) After all – crafting makes everything better! Least in my opinion anyways…

Anyways – we are going to transform an ordinary MASON JAR printable into apple jam! I feel like this simple DIY is going to be THAT craft to celebrate the time of year AND apple picking season! We don’t want you to worry about any complications, so there’s even a FREE PRINTABLE you can find in the supply list below. This will get you started in the right direction and from there, you just need an apple and some craft paint. EASY PEASY!

Find all the details below! Happy crafting, my friends!!!

Apple Stamped Mason Jar Jam Craft Supplies:

• FREE Mason Jar Printable {download HERE}
• White Cardstock
• Color Printer
• Fresh Apple
• Kitchen Knife {adult supervision please!}
• Small Paper Plate
• Craft Paint {I used a combination of red, yellow and orange}
• Scissors
• Decorative Bows
• Thick Tacky Glue

Directions:

• First download and print the FREE mason jar template above, on white cardstock. You need ONE print per craft. Print as many as you like! Set aside.
• ADULT SUPERVISION REQUIRED – Grab your apple and knife. Cut the apple in half, straight down the center. Reserve one half for the craft and save the other for eating. Remember – the apple half you use for the stamping aspect of the craft, can NOT be consumed afterwards. 
• Squirt some craft paint on your paper plate. Take your apple slice and rub it all over in the paint.
• Grab your mason jar printable. Stamp the apple SEVERAL times inside the mason jar print, until it’s completely covered. It’s ok for you to stamp outside the mason jar design as well. This is the “making jam” part of the craft.
• When done stamping, set aside your painted piece to let it dry a bit. Discard painted apple slice in trash.
• Once dry enough, grab your mason jar painted print and scissors. Trim out the mason jar design.
• Grab the glue and small decorative bow. Adhere it to the print, near the lid to make it look like it’s wrapped around the jar.
• Now display your Mason Jar Jam proudly for ALL to see!
