How to decorate mason jars

Hello Everyone!
This is, Kristy{DavesWife} from The Diary of DavesWife
Summer is Officially here!
Memorial Day blew past us this last weekend and before you know it We will all be celebrating  The 4th!
Today I am sharing with you a Fun Way to serve drinks that are perfect for
Independence Day!
I don’t know if you have noticed,
But it seems that Mason Jars seem all the “rage” in party decor.
Today I am going to show you how to make lids
that will surely stand out at your next party!
Here is what you are going to need:
Mason Jars- I used 12 oz jars
Fabric cut into 4″x4″ Squares
Sharp Scissors {with a sharp point}
Cute Straws
First Take your Mason jar and remove the lid
{you will not need the sealing disk, only the ring}
Next place your 4″x4″ square of fabric over the opening of the jar
And screw the lid ring back onto the jar over the fabric pulling the fabric downwards
so that it fits nice and tight.
Next trim your fabric with scissors all the way around your jar
Last using the tip of some very sharp scissors or an exact-o knife
poke a hole in the center of your lid.
At this point you can remove the lid all together and fill your jars with whatever
yummy drink you will be serving.
Re-assemble your lid and insert your straw in the hole you poked.
Now you have Party Cup Perfection!
