Supply Sourcing Tip - If you don't know the proper term for something, take a picture of it (the real object, or an image of it) so it's easier to find when someone is helping you in the Hardware Store. It's so much easier than describing using charades - lol.
Instructions
Step 1
Sand your wood to remove rough edges. No need for perfection here—just smooth it out so it’s pleasant to touch and paint.
Step 2
Paint or stain your wood in your desired color. I used three thin coats of paint, letting each coat dry about 30 minutes. I let the final coat dry for 2 hours before moving to the next step.
Step 3
Widen one of the slots in the hose clamp using a screwdriver to make space for your screw. It doesn’t take much effort—just twist gently until the screw fits through.
Step 4
Partially insert the screw into the back of the hose clamp to create a starter hole, then attach the hose clamp securely to the wooden board.
Step 5
Place your mason jar inside the hose clamp and tighten it to hold the jar in place.
Step 6
Add your picture hanger to the back of the board. Then, hang it on the wall, fill the jar with water, and pop in your favorite flowers!
Creative Ways to Use
- Fresh flowers from your garden or store
- Dried florals or faux stems for a maintenance-free option
- Herbs in the kitchen (think basil, mint, or rosemary)
- Office supplies like pens or scissors
- Bathroom storage for cotton balls or Q-tips

Oh my goodness! I'm so glad that this caught my eye as I was scrolling through my numerous emails! I love this idea and I'm definitely going to try it. Thank you so much!!! It's so pretty but it seems so simple.

I come from the South. I could not run my household without lots of Mason jars. We pass those jars back and forth and once in awhile someone is short. They call around to one or two friends (don't call too many!) and the next day they have 40 on their porch with various notes on whom to send the canning results. This just gives us a new idea for using them. I think I had better buy stock in that company!
