HP Create: Baby Shower Mason Jar Glasses
Have you heard the term “Party in a Box?” It typically means to provide everything you need to host a successful
party. We're doing that this month, but we're sharing some amazing ideas! All through April you can find great ideas
for the perfect baby shower, graduation, or wedding. And the best part is that our inspiration can be adopted for any
event. Use our “Party in a Box” suggestions with your favorite craft supplies to make your celebration memorable! For
this “Party in a Box” we’re focusing on baby showers!
Sometimes I think the most fun part of having a party is not the party itself, but creating the decorations and favors
beforehand! Admit it – you love browsing Pinterest and figuring out how you are going to incorporate mason jars and
burlap into your next party theme. Well, I have a great idea for you! A lot of my friends are pregnant right now, and I
thought going with a baby shower theme would be perfect. You can make these mason jar glasses work for your
party theme using the exact same tutorial I show you below. And the best part? These glasses are washable. I know
you can’t wait to learn more – check out my tutorial below.

Step 1
If you’ve never used Wonder Under before, it’s amazing stuff! You can iron it to burlap, and the paper like texture
allows it to be sent through the printer. Follow the instructions on your Wonder Under to adhere it to the burlap. My
instructions said iron it to the burlap textured side down, on the highest (dry) iron setting for 5 – 8 seconds.

Step 2
Do not remove the paper backing from the Wonder Under. Use a piece of printer paper to trim your burlap and
Wonder Under to a 8 ½” x 11” size.

Step 3
Use a word processing program to create sayings in whatever fonts you like.
TIP #1: Make sure to leave room between words and phrases so that you have enough room to cut out shapes.

Step 4
Print out on the burlap.

Step 5
Cut strips of the “Salon de Fleurs” paper out of the Snapfish Party Kits using a ruler, craft knife, and craft mat. Once
they’re cut out, decoupage them to the jars (down the middle) using the Mod Podge Dishwasher Safe formula.
To do this, apply a medium layer to the mason jar, smooth the strip down. Wait 15 – 20 minutes and then apply a top
coat.

Step 6
After the Mod Podge is dry, add polka dots to the mason jars using a spouncer and the acrylic paint color of your
choice. I added dots all over my glasses.
Make sure the acrylic paint is suitable for glass and is dishwasher safe (multi-surface and glass formulas are perfect
for this).
TIP #2: If you don’t like the placement of a polka dot, simply wipe it away while it is wet and try again!

Step 7
When the paint is dry, attach the lace to the middle of the paper strip using the Mod Podge Dishwasher Safe formula.
Let that dry and give the mason jar glasses at least three more coats of Mod Podge, allowing them to dry between
coats.
TIP #3: You will be able to wash these jars in the dishwasher after four weeks of curing (read the instructions on the
Mod Podge Dishwasher safe formula label). Until then, if you need to use your glasses, simply hand wash them!

Step 8
Now back to the burlap. Cut the tags out with scissors. I cut circles, but you can cut any shapes you like.

Step 9
Poke a hole using the craft knife and string your burlap tag AND key charm onto the baker’s twine.
HP Create
Step 10
Tie around the lip of the glass to secure.
TIP #4: You’ll need to remove this tag and charm to wash.

Your glasses are complete! These glasses are great because depending on what you print on the burlap, you can
use them for various parties! We’d love for you to make this project too and share it in our Idea Exchange.
