Apothecary jars (affiliate) are excellent options on your dining room table or in your home to decorate for the season. Depending on the season, I replace the items inside my two glass jars and love changing them. In this post, I will share my spring apothecary jars (affiliate) with you. I hope they inspire you to get some for yourself and help decorate your home this spring.

What inspired me to do this Spring Apothecary Jars Decor?

I love container decorations. It is where you can quickly transfer out one season's decor and update it to show another. It minimizes how many decorations I have throughout the home and streamlines my decorating process. Keeping the apothecary jars (affiliate) out all year allows me to update for the new season quickly. Please visit my other apothecary jar (affiliate) DIY project post below for more ideas. HOW TO MAKE CUTE FALL APOTHECARY JARS

What supplies did I use to make this Spring Apothecary Jars Decor?

You need only four things to make these apothecary jars (affiliate) in springtime.

Supplies used:

  • 2 - glass apothecary jars - they are usually glass jars.
  • 2 - small narrow gnomes purchased at HomeGoods or these succulent gnomes from Amazon (affiliate)(affiliate).
  • 2 - Peony & Rose Scented Potpourri packs (I bought these from Michaels)
  • Cream and green stripe wire ribbon
Supplies used to make the Apothecary jars

How much did it cost to make this Spring Apothecary Jars Decor?

Since I had no spring-scented potpourri, I had to buy them. So I spent $26. However, I knew I would bag them up and reuse them again in the coming years, so the cost didn't bother me. Tip: To freshen up the potpourri, you can easily add a few drops of your favorite essential oils (affiliate) to the potpourri.

Full disclosure: To make my centerpiece, I wanted to buy narrow spring gnomes since I am a gnome fan for my centerpiece. I found these beauties at HomeGoods for $13.00 each.

How long did it take to make these Spring Apothecary Jars Decor?

Since I wanted the glass jars to be organized a certain way, it took me about 1 hour to set up both.

How did I make this Spring Apothecary Jars Decor?

First, I sorted the Peony and rose-scented potpourri packs into 'like' items. The peonies went into one pile, the green-colored pieces into another, the cream pieces in another, and the nuts in another pile.

sort the potpourri

Then, I place a large nut over the hole to prevent the small pieces from filling the base. Then began to add the nuts around it.

add a ball to cover the base hole so the nuts don't fall through

Now, I added the green and cream pieces to the jar. I added the peonies flower facing out so I could easily see the flowers from the sides when I placed the other pieces around it.

Next, I cut the ribbon into about two 5 feet long pieces. I made a standard bow, and with the wired ribbon, I made a waved design with the end of the ribbon.

The Big Reveal

They look super cute! I'm so happy with the results. Here is what I did with the gnomes I bought at HomeGoods. I added the gnomes to the center and the two apothecary jars (affiliate) to either side of the cutting board (affiliate) on my dining room table. It's a great way to decorate the dining room table. What do you think?

Tips on making this Spring Apothecary Jars Decor.

Below are tips when making these apothecary jars.

  1. Pick items that are small to fit inside the jars. If they are too big, you may have lots of gaps that you will need to fill.
  2. Gather items together that are similar in color to help unify the jars.
  3. You can use bright pinks, yellows, and beiges for spring colors.
  4. Find things around your home to add to the jars to reduce the amount it costs to make them.
  5. Use a gallon storage bag to hold the content of the jars when the season is over. Pull them out and reuse them in the future.
  6. Ribbons (affiliate) with natural colors work nicely for springtime.
  7. If you want to do centerpieces, it is best to use large jars, so they fill up the table.
  8. Display no more than two large apothecary jars on a dining room table. Otherwise, it will get too cluttered.
  9. For a simple display, you can add a battery-operated candle inside the jar and add small dried flowers around the candle.
  10. Add these apothecary jars to a mantel for a beautiful focal point.
