Mason jars, flags, and sparklers.
I think this combination represents Independence Day proudly.
Add some flowers and an old soda crate and you've got a complete centerpiece.
Every year I get a few boxes of sparklers.
Kids and adults love them!
What is your favorite thing to do with lit sparklers?
I like to spell my name in the air or draw a picture.
Or simply take off running, leaving a sparkler trail as I go ;-).
For extra patriotic flair, I used a blue band on the mason jar.
I found it in my canning supplies.

These frog insert lids made for canning jars do a fantastic job of holding everything upright and in place.
I added some epsom salt for extra stability and a little bling.
Using smaller mason jars on each side, I added a bouquet of freshly picked daisies.
On these I used white bands from my canning supplies.
(I don't have any red bands, but I bet they make them)
Putting together a display doesn't need to expensive, fancy, or time consuming.
Love your 4th of July Mason jars. I'm going to have to look for the frog insert lids.
ReplyDeleteHi Karen,
DeleteI purchased the frog inserts at Hobby Lobby.
Good morning, LL! Great idea for a center piece, it is so pretty! Even now, I love sparklers just as much as I did when I was little! Where did you find the frog inserts? ~CB
ReplyDeleteThanks CB! Sparklers are fun (and cheap).
DeleteI got the inserts at Hobby Lobby.
I think I might have to steal this idea! I have daisies, Epsom Salts, and Lord knows I have jars!
ReplyDeleteYour display looks so festive!
I like making things I already have on hand too ;-)
DeleteI think that Mason jars can be used in unlimited ways.
ReplyDeleteHappy fourth of July:-)
Greetings:-)
I agree. Why just can in them when they make beautiful displays! The only thing I bought for this centerpiece was the sparklers and frog inserts, and I will use them over and over.
DeleteThat turned out really cute, Lori Leigh! It inspired me to do something similar :)
ReplyDeletexo,
rue
Thanks Rue! I look forward to seeing your creation.
DeleteSo patriotically cute....I like to write my name in the air. It's the only time it will be in lights!!!
ReplyDeleteOh Cathy, your name is in lights daily through your wonderful blog ;-)
DeleteThat's so pretty, Lori. I have flowers in my centerpiece and a flag, but I'll have to remember to get sparklers for the 4th! :)
ReplyDeleteI would probably be shunned if I didn't have sparklers ;-)
DeleteSo very cute! And I just found out a Hobby Lobby is coming to my town - so next year I will even be able to buy the frog inserts here! I am sort of afraid of sparklers - but would love these with the flag and flowers!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, Lori Leigh - I tagged you in a game of blogger "things I love and hate" today... feel free to participate or not! I just wanted to introduce my readers to you and your blog. Happy 4th!
How exciting that you are getting a Hobby Lobby. Please know that they offer a 40% coupon every week!
DeleteI read your love/hate post...very interesting.
I love this Lori. It's patriotic, but pretty at the same time!
ReplyDeleteI like how you described it Kelly. Thanks and welcome to my little blog ;-)
DeleteI love this. So simple and patriotic. I bet you could paint the bands with some acrylic paint to make them red. Thank you for linking up to Tips and Tricks. Kathleen @ Fearlessly Creative Mammas
ReplyDeleteSimply adorable. Thanks for sharing. Have a Happy 4th
ReplyDeleteI have this same Coke box. I have never thought of using it as a centerpiece. It is holding laundry detergent now. It is getting re-purposed today! Thanks for the great idea:)
