Spring has sprung, everyone! Baseball is back, the trees are in bloom, and I am wanting to cover every spare inch of our home with florals! If you're feeling the spring fever and are looking to add some blooms to your home, then these simple DIY mason jar wall planters are just what you need.
What you'll need:
- two pieces of wood, sized to your preference
- 2 mason jars - either two small (pint) jars or two large (quart) wide mouth jars - it's important to use the wide mouth jars for the quart size because the regular mouth quart jars won't sit properly on the wood because their backs are too large
- 2 pipe clamps (size depends on what size mason jar you use)
- small screw eyes
- power drill & screws
- twine or metal wire - whatever you prefer to use to hang the planters on the wall
What to do:
First, you'll need to cut your piece of wood into two pieces. I used a piece of wood we had saved when flipping the house, but if you don't have spare wood lying around, you could easily stain and cut a piece of wood from your local home improvement store! To give you an idea for sizing, for large wide mouth jars, I cut my wood into 10 inch x 11 inch pieces.
Next, add the small screw eyes to the top corners of the wood pieces. At first you can twist them in by hand, but then you will have to use needle nose pliers to screw them in the rest of the way.
Next you'll add the pipe clamp to the wood. First, use a drill bit to drill a hole through the pipe clamp. Once you have a hole in the clamp, you'll be able to screw the clamp to the wood.
Then you're ready to add your mason jar! Just use a screw driver to tighten the pipe clamp around the mouth of the mason jar.
You're almost there! Twist your twine or metal wire in the eye hooks, pick a spot on the wall, hang your adorable planters up & add some springy blooms!
How fun are the billy balls?!
That's all there is to it! This project should take 45 minutes tops, from start to hanging them up on the wall - super easy! For now I have some fake stems from Hobby Lobby, but once spring is full swing, I'll have to cut some fresh flowers for them. These would also be perfect for planting herbs in the kitchen!
What do you guys think? How do you use florals around the house for spring?
Happy spring & happy opening day!
