Woman saves some old pickle jars, creates best fall decorating idea

Ever wondered what you could do with those old pickle jars accumulating in your cupboard? One creative woman turned these everyday containers into charming fall decorations that add a cozy ambiance to any living space. This simple and fun DIY project not only brings the spirit of autumn into your home but also promotes sustainability by upcycling glass jars.

These fall-themed pickle jar decorations are perfect for adding a rustic touch to your living room, dining table, or even your front porch. Pair them with other autumn decor such as pumpkins, dried flowers, and plaid throws. Arrange them in clusters of three to five jars at varying heights for a visually appealing display. Incorporate natural elements like twine, pinecones, and acorns to enhance the warm and rustic aesthetic.

Old pickle jars (medium and large sizes)
Acrylic paint in fall colors (orange, yellow, brown, red)
Paintbrushes
Twine or burlap ribbon
Artificial fall leaves
Hot glue gun and glue sticks
Tea light candles or LED fairy lights
Scissors

Remove any labels from the pickle jars and clean them thoroughly. Ensure they are completely dry before starting.

Paint the outside of the jars with acrylic paint in your chosen fall colors. Consider applying a base coat of a lighter color before adding details and patterns such as leaves, pumpkins, or abstract designs.

Allow the paint to dry completely. This may take a few hours depending on the thickness of the paint.

Wrap twine or burlap ribbon around the neck of each jar, securing it with a dot of hot glue.

Use the hot glue gun to attach artificial fall leaves to the outside of the jars. Be creative with your arrangement to give each jar a unique look.

Place tea light candles or LED fairy lights inside the jars to create a warm, inviting glow.

Arrange the decorated jars in a display area of your home, either individually or grouped together for maximum impact.

For a different spin, try filling the jars with seasonal fillers such as candy corn, dried beans, or potpourri instead of using lights. You can also paint the jars using frosted glass spray for a subtle look or use lace fabric for a more elegant approach. Personalize the jars further by adding family names, festive messages, or even metallic accents for an upscale touch. Don't be afraid to experiment with different jar sizes and shapes to create a dynamic and personalized fall display.
