Burlap & Doily Luminaries: Rustic meets Romance

JAN

4By Amanda Formaro | Home Decor Projects, Mother's Day Crafts, Recycled Crafts for Adults, Valentine's Day Crafts

Doilies are dainty. Candles are romantic. Burlap is rustic. Here I’ve combined all of them to make these pretty luminaries that would be great for a romantic Valentine’s Day meal or even as a wedding reception accent. Play around

with different ribbons, buttons, twine and burlap while experimenting with various doily designs as well.

I found my doilies at the thrift store for about $0.35 each. I tried paper doilies but they aren’t as pretty and they are solid in the center, missing the lovely designs that real doilies possess. Because I only had a few doilies on hand, I only put them on one side of the jar, however you could place them on both sides if you like. They look lovely on their own or with a lit tea light glowing inside.

Burlap and Doily Luminariesprintable version

Glass jarsAdhesive spray (like Elmer’s Craft Bond)DoiliesBurlapTwine, buttons, and/or ribbon

Make sure your jars are clean and dry. Spray the jar with adhesive spray. EDITED: A commenter, Peechee, suggested spraying the doily rather than the jar to avoid having dust particles etc cling to the glass where the doily doesn’t touch. I think that’s an excellent idea! I haven’t tried it myself, but would love to know how it works out if someone does try that. EDITED AGAIN: Have heard from another visitor that in fact spraying the doily works great!

Funny thing is I tried this project with paper doilies first and I DID spray the paper doily and then place it on the jar. No idea why I didn’t do that with the real doily. Duh! The only problem I could see would be that the doily might flop onto itself causing it to stick to itself. so maybe instead spray the doily, leave it on the table, then place the jar onto the doily!

Page 4: Decorating Mason Jars

Place the doily onto the jar and position it, making sure it’s not bunched up anywhere. Press in place.

Spray the rim with adhesive, then wrap the jar rim with burlap.

Page 5: Decorating Mason Jars

You can also wrap the rim with pretty ribbon then tie a piece of twine around the rim as well. Tie them both in a bow.

Page 6: Decorating Mason Jars

Another option is to use the canning jar lid, then wrap that with twine or loose threads from your burlap. Thread two of the ends through a button and tie in a knot.

Those are SO adorable. I'm definitely going to give it a try, but I do have a question…

Page 14: Decorating Mason Jars

You sprayed adhesive on the glass jar. Isn't it still sticky in between the empty spaces of the doily? Could you have sprayed the doily instead and then place it on the jar? I'm just worried that dust will stick to the empty spaces.

Amanda says:

January 5, 2011 at 6:41 pm

Peechee – That actually is a brilliant idea! I did have a few issues of some tiny hairs (from the twine and burlap) and some dust sticking to the excess adhesive. So yes, super smart – spray the doilies first!

In doing this type of thing to glass jars or items, I like to use either a sugar water or spray starch as my "adhesive" so that I can take it all off when I don't need them anymore! I just dip the doily into the sugar water (heavy syrup) or spray a lot of spray starch on the doily. Works great for me.

Elizabeth – that's a great idea! The spray adhesive actually isn't totally permanent (I don't think). I had placed one on a jar and didn't like the way it came out, so I was able to remove it easily. Of course that was after only 15-20 minutes of it being on there, not sure how easily they will come off after days and days of sitting. However, I would imagine you could soak them in hot or warm water and the glue would release.

Thank you all SO much for all of your wonderful comments!!

These were so beautiful I decided to make a couple of my own…I wish I would have taken my jars with me when I was picking out doilies…they don't have the fit I was looking for but all in all I think I like them and will probably end up making a few more. I sprayed the doilies with the adhesive and that seemed to work pretty good vs spraying the jars. TFS!

I’ve never looked at stores for the doilies, I just look at thrift stores. Antique stores will have them too. I’ve seen them on eBay as well, but consignment shops and thrift stores are probably going to be your best bet :)

If you don't need it to be as permanent, you can dip the doily in liquid fabric starch and lay it on the jar. When dry, it'll be stuck to it but can be peeled off.

I've used this trick w/ cottong fabric to cover the back wall of display cases or bookshelves when I had a shop and wanted it festive for the holidays or such.

The jars are beautiful! I am always looking for ideas for my students to do for a parent gift for Christmas. The doilies remind me of snowflakes. Do you have any suggestions for 3rd graders? You mentioned trying it with paper doilies, did it work ok? I was also wondering if the Mod Podge might be better for the kids? Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much for your great, creative ideas!

I had romantic candle lights with a slightly sexy accent in mind… Here’s the result!http://lievewoordjes.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/lichtjes.jpg

I love the variety of lace/materials on your jars. I did a similar thing however used smaller jars for tea light candles and found that I didn’t actually need to glue the whole thing- just enough at the join. I also found that using smaller jars meant that you could just use lace ribbon, which was quick and cheap :-)

Seeing as how mason jars are pretty expensive to buy here new and are rare to find (in decent shape) used I’m thinking of trying this idea out on various other glass food jars such as the ones used for pickles, mayonnaise, and kimchi. Just wash the jars out well after use, remove the labels (you can soak them of in hot water) and voila! Thanks for the idea :)

Amanda says:

Yes I think it would, though I haven’t tried that. BUT I would suggest laying the doily flat on the table, applying the Mod Podge to the doily and then laying the jar onto the doily so that it grabs. Then lay the jar on its side and adjust the doily if needed. Let it dry like that, laying down, so that there are less chance of drips.

I just have a ? actually. I’ve recently begun saving all my glass jars for projects just like these and I think this is absolutely beautiful, however I’m having a problem removing all of the glue from the jars. I tried soaking them in vinegar and did so for a few days with no result. Will the doily still stick if I have some of the glue left on the jar, cause if so it would be a fantastic way to cover it up!!

Hi Brandy. Try Goo Gone. It removes all that label residue :) As for leaving the labels on and putting the doilies over them, I probably wouldn’t recommend that as you will probably be able to see it through the holes in the doily.

You could also use WD40 to remove adhesive.

I just finished making my jars for my golf banquet. I only have to add ribbon and they are done. I sprayed the dollies first, then put them on the jar. If you spray the jar first, you will have a hard time getting the excess glue off. Once the spray is on, the doilies stretched so easily. They look great!!

Yes, it’s definitely easier (and less messy) to spray the doilies instead of the jars! Glad you enjoyed the project!

You can crochet the pieces to fit the jar, then just slide them over the jar and tie them with a ribbon. That way you can take them off and wash them. A fillet pattern would be nice. That way you could crochet literally any scene you wanted.

I’m going to be making these this weekend. Currently, Michael’s Craft store has small doilies in various colors in their $1 bins. Just in case someone wanted a different color other than a white doily. At our local Michaels store there were yellow, green, blue, red and white to choose from.
