If there’s one thing I’ve learned from years of crafting, it’s that some of the best projects are the simplest ones. That’s exactly what I love about this DIY Pressed Flower Jar—it’s quick, it’s inexpensive, and it adds the perfect unique touch to your space. Whether you’re looking for a cute way to repurpose empty jars or want to try your hand at working with pressed flowers, this is a great little weekend project to get you started.

Where Can I Get Pressed Flowers?
You can purchase pressed flowers at your local craft stores or order them online. Some sets come with tweezers included. Here are some of my favorite pressed flowers: 80 Pcs Dried Flowers for Crafts.

How to Make a Pressed Flower Jar
Step 1
Make sure your jars are clean and dry.
Step 2
Using your paint brush, add a thin layer of Modge Podge where you want to place your flowers.
Step 3
Using your tweezers, place your flowers where you added the Modge Podge. Then, carefully, use your paint brush to add a thin layer of Modge Podge over the flowers.
Step 4
Lastly, add a thin layer of Modge Podge over the entire jar to ensure an even texture.
