Need a place to store some flowers? Get rid of that traditional vase, and opt for something a little different. Have you ever thought about storing flowers in a mason jar? Now when you think of a mason jar, you may not think it is pretty enough to hold flowers but you are wrong. Glam up your mason jar by adding lace to it. We found this project on, Shop Ruche. This is a simple project to do. You will need some lace, Mod Podge, mason jars, scissors, brush, and heat gun.

Start by measuring out a piece of lace that will wrap around the entire base of the jar.

Brush mod podge all over the jar and begin wrapping the lace all around the jar.
