Lady attaches pine cones to mason jars, makes beautiful DIY decor

Creating fall-themed candle holders with mason jars and pine cones is a perfect way to bring the beauty of autumn into your home. This DIY project combines rustic charm with a cozy, warm aesthetic, making it an ideal decoration for the fall season. This project is not only easy and affordable but also a delightful way to add a personal touch to your seasonal decor. You might want to make this DIY to celebrate the changing colors of fall, to create a cozy ambiance, or simply to enjoy the satisfaction of a handmade craft.

These fall-themed candle holders blend perfectly with rustic, farmhouse, or country-style interior designs. They can be used as centerpieces on dining tables, placed on mantels, or arranged on side tables to add a touch of warmth. Pair them with other natural elements such as wooden trays, burlap runners, and dried flowers to create a cohesive autumn vignette. Consider using them in conjunction with other seasonal decor items like pumpkins and gourds to enhance the fall theme in your living space.

Mason jars (any size you prefer)
Pine cones (variety of sizes)
Hot glue gun and glue sticks
Candles (tea lights or votive)
Twine or burlap ribbon
Scissors
Optional: Acrylic paint (fall colors), paintbrush

Clean the mason jars thoroughly and dry them completely.

Gather pine cones and, if desired, paint them with fall colors (such as orange, yellow, brown). Allow the paint to dry completely.

Using the hot glue gun, attach the pine cones to the exterior of the mason jars. Start at the base and work your way up, arranging them in a visually appealing manner.

Once all pine cones are attached and the glue is dry, wrap twine or burlap ribbon around the neck of the jar and secure with a knot or bow for added rustic charm.

Place a candle inside each mason jar. Light the candles to bring a warm, autumn glow to your space.

For a unique twist, consider using scented candles that complement the fall theme, such as cinnamon, pumpkin spice, or apple cider. You can also experiment with different sizes and shapes of mason jars to create a varied and dynamic display. To add a touch of glam, incorporate gold or copper leaf paint on the edges of the pine cones. Additionally, you can mix in other natural elements like acorns, dried leaves, or small branches to further enhance the autumnal feel. Flex your creativity by using different styles of ribbon or experimenting with layering multiple materials for a more textured look.
