Turn your mason jar into a dried pasta storage jar with this easy-peasy and budget-friendly DIY project.
Its country chic and rustic look makes it perfect to be used as a lovely and budget-friendly centerpiece for an Italian Dinner Theme wedding rehearsal dinner, a wedding or for any party!
It’s also a party favor that everybody will love.
YOU NEED:
• A MASON JAR
• A PACKET OF PASTA
• BABY BREATH
• SCRAP FABRIC
• WHITE CORD
• RUBBER BAND (OPTIONAL)
• A TAG (OPTIONAL)
I used:
• a recycled mason jar
• a packet of Penne Rigate n.41 DE CECCO
• a square of red and white checked fabric
• a small posy of artificial baby breath
• a green rubber band (optional)
STEP 1
Fill the jar with the pasta and close the jar with its lid.
Center the red and white checked fabric square on the top.
STEP 2
Loop a piece of white cord around the top of your jar and tie into a knot.
TIP: Rubber band
HERE’S A TIME-SAVING TIP THAT WILL MAKE THIS DIY PROJECT EVEN EASIER:
Fasten the piece of fabric around the lid with a rubber band.
This will secure the fabric and make your project childishly simple.
You can see it in the picture, it’s in green.
Remove the green rubber band (IF USED IT) and tie the white cord.
STEP 3
ADD A SMALL BOUQUET OF BABY BREATH
GYPSOPHILA is so romantic and delicate, but cheap and long-lasting at the same time.
It is perfect for DIY projects and decorations.
(THIS ONE IS ARTIFICIAL, MADE IN PLASTIC.)
STEP 4
(optional)
You can also add a tag whit your initials or the date of your wedding or put it in a basket with a plant of basil in a pot for a gift.
A party favor that everyone will love.
BUON APPETITO!
