Twine flower jars

 I complain about spring sometimes but it really is one of my favorite seasons. I love the warmer weather and the cool rainy days. My favorite part of spring, however, is the 2 huge rows of peonies in my front yard. They're beautiful, and every year I anticipate beheading a few of them to sit in my kitchen.

This weekend the youth (Young Women) that I oversee are putting together a spaghetti dinner to fund their annual girl's camp. I and my dear counselors were put in charge of the decor. Lucky us!! We decided to go super simple and here's what I came up with for the center pieces. Twine wrapped mason jars. Red neck? maybe. But we're also going to fill them with my pretty peonies so hopefully they'll come off as more shabby chic. Here's how we did it.....be prepared for the most difficult tutorial ever........


Whew! Tough huh?! Fill it with some pretty blooms and call it a day!

    I love that they are so simple -but they look gorgeous! So do the peonies! I love the natural color on the jars and then the bright pink peonies add that real POP of color for spring. Great job!

    Super cute!
    Also, I LOVED your quilted bean bag chair on SYTYC. What a fun idea!

    So natural, and I love the way the twine sort of overlaps and has freewheeling feel to it. Can't beat those gorgeous blooms inside. Great idea. A simple yet beautiful style.
