First go out into your backyard or on a neighborhood walk and gather some beautiful flowers!

Trace a circle onto your parchment paper or clear contact paper using the mason jar ring. You will need two circles for each mason jar ring.

Arrange your beautiful flowers in the middle of the circle. The second circle you traced will be used later on.

Use tape to adhere flowers to the parchment paper. If you’re using contact paper you will not need to do this step.

Next, cut out your circle with flowers now adhered to the paper.

Cut out the second circle that you traced previously and place it on top of your flower circle. Next, fasten your string to the mason jar ring.
