Easily DIY The Sweetest Outdoor Decor Using Repurposed Mason Jar Lids

Whether you have extra mason jar lids that you don't know what to do with, or your patio is looking a little bare, how about adding sweet flower decor to an outdoor wall? You'll never have to water this one, and it doesn't need sunlight to thrive. It's a simple DIY, and yet it may be the ideal trendy idea for designing your perfect patio.

To create your own adorable outdoor flower decor, you'll need any cotton fabric, though quilting fabric such as the Newamishquilt Cotton Fabric Bundles comes in convenient sizes. Cut strips and tie them all around your mason jar lid. You can vary the length, though you want to keep them short enough that they don't sag. Cut a circle of burlap or hessian sack fabric just bigger than the center hole and glue it to the back.

Glue the flower to a rectangular piece of wood. Then, glue a wavy line of string from the flower to the bottom of the wood to form the stem of the flower, and add some plastic leaves. Create a flower pot using a rectangular piece of burlap. Glue the edge to the lower edge of the wood, tucking it under the stem. Fold all four corners and glue them down. Fold the lower edge up and glue it into place, leaving a little slack for a 3D effect. Tuck a bit of fake moss to fill the gap, and you've just completed another adorable home decor idea you can DIY with leftover mason jar lids.

For the ultimate boho patio decor, super-size the basic design concept and create a flowering tree. If you need extra mason jar lids, you can get 24 Muyetol Canning Jar Lids for just over $6. Make as many flowers as you need and fill in the gaps with plastic leaves. Instead of a flower stem, use thicker rope and lay multiple strands, spreading them out at the top to create branches. Use a larger piece of wood as a backing. You can also create the tree on a wooden trellis and use it as a privacy screen.

Mason jar lid flowers make brilliant, budget-friendly decor that adds the perfect finishing touch to a backyard patio. Just remember that using fabric means your creation needs to be mounted under cover to protect it from the elements. Position the wood horizontally, make three flowers, and glue them on in a single row. Attach hooks below them and use them as a handy storage hanger for gardening or barbeque tools. 

These sweet flowers are perfect for creating seasonal decor, such as a door wreath for the festive season. Use a strong cardboard ring as a base and paint it in a neutral base color. Use red and green fabric to make the petals, and make enough flowers to cover the surface or fill in with leaves. Place them close enough to cover the base completely and finish off with a red velvet bow.
