Steps

Clean and Prepare the Jars
Wash the glass jars thoroughly with soap and water. Remove any labels by soaking the jars in warm, soapy water and scrubbing off the residue.
Choose Your Design Material
Select the design elements you want to use, such as paint, ribbons, lace, or twine. Gather all your materials in one place for easy access.
Paint the Jars
If you decide to paint the jars, use paint that is suitable for glass. Apply the paint in thin layers and let each layer dry completely before applying the next. This may take 2–3 coats depending on the opacity you desire.
Add Decorative Elements
Once the paint is dry, you can start adding decorative elements such as ribbons, lace, or twine. Use a hot glue gun to attach these materials securely to the jars.
Arrange the Flowers or Fillers
Place floral foam inside the jar if you are using artificial flowers, or add water if you are using real flowers. Arrange the flowers or other fillers as desired.
Finalize Your Centerpiece
Make any final adjustments to the arrangement and place your centerpiece on the table, adorning it with extra elements like candles or small decorative stones if desired.
