Perfect match: Jam Jars & Flowers

Here at Friends of Glass we love to make new friends and we’ve recently come across JamJarFlowers.co.uk, a team of bespoke London florists with real creative flair. Using gorgeous glass jars and bottles as an alternative to traditional vases, they display flowers in an impressive way (and we all know that flowers look beautiful when displayed in anything glass).

Whether you are looking for centerpieces for a wedding or your dining room table, jars make great replacements for vases or just for general decoration around the home. They come in a variety of different shapes and sizes and sometimes in different colours, which makes it even easier for you to get inspired.

Feeling creative? Here are some of our favourite glass jar-themed tutorials:

Wedding Decorations

Head over to 17 Apart for this great tutorial on making hanging flower jars which would look beautiful for an autumn wedding.

Home Decorations

If you are looking for something around the home, then making vases out of old jars is always fun. Trashy Crafter is all about redefining your “trash”. Remember, one person’s trash is another person’s treasure.

Birthday Gifts

We fell in love with DIY Inspired as they repurpose and reinvent and have lots of ideas for you to work with. Some of their reinventions would make beautiful birthday gifts and perfect displays in any home.

So next time you finish off your last jar of jam, coffee, marmite, peanut butter, or whatever it may be, there’s never been a better time to upcycle those jars!
