The completed canning jar pumpkin. Don't know what to do with those extra canning rings? I have a lot more rings than seals so when I saw this cute project idea, I knew just what to do with the extra rings.

Total Time: 30 minutes

Yield: 1

Supplies:

Canning Rings (18 for each pumpkin)
Floral Wire
Ribbon (about 2 yards if using standard size canning rings)
Hot Glue Gun
Stick for the Stem
Wire Cutters
Scissors
part of a tree branch
curlicue made with yarn
floral leaf

Steps:

First, measure strips of ribbon and cut to fit around ring. I used two different kinds of ribbon, so nine pieces of each. Using a hot glue gun, I glued the end of one side of the ribbon to the outside of the ring, wrapped it around the ring and glued the other side. Hint: I did this assembly line fashion by gluing the ends on each ring and then going back and gluing the other ends. This gave it time for the glue to dry.

Attaching ribbon to the canning jar lids.

Then, I took a piece of floral wire and threaded it through the rings, with an every other color of trim. Pulling it taut, I twisted the two ends of the floral wire together and cut off the excess wire.
