In this article, I’m going to show you how to decorate a glass jar with a single rose! Roses are one of my favorite flowers and I love the idea of having them combined with a glass jar. In this DIY, I use a glass jar with a candle insert. I put a red rose between a ball of aluminum wire and stones. This ensures a good grip. The rose in the glass makes a nice table decoration and is also a great gift idea, for example for Valentine’s Day or Mother’s Day!
