During the winter, I kept over 15 empty peach jars to do these wedding table decorations. Today, I heated up some water and poured in three jars and waited ten minutes before easily peeling the label off but leaving on the sticky glue left from the label on the jar which make it so wonderful to stick the twine on the jar. I used my left over 2 ply twine for a few jars but found but I liked the 3 ply twine for decorating the remaining jars since I really like the rustic look of the twine for an outdoor wedding in the mountains. I just wound the twine on the sticky label glue on the jar until I got to the bottom and cut the end with the scissors and tucked the edges under the wounded twine. The sticky glue on the jar worked well keeping the tucked edges intact.
I used 1" wide Scor-Tape around the jar and wrapped the ribbon on the tape and tied together. The Stamperia Romantic Garden House Chipboard is very sticky on the back but I still used a hot glue gun to apply glue on the back of the chipboard to keep it on since these jars will be going through a lot of handling and transporting which might make these chipboards fall off. Also, I used a hot glue gun on the top of the jar and stuck the flowers in to keep the flowers in place. I also glued some Wild Orchid Craft flowers on the chipboard for that extra elegance touch without over doing it. After the wedding is over, I will use a hair dryer or my embossing gun around the top of the jar for a moment to remove the flowers for storage for the next wedding. Also, I could use the hair dryer to remove the chipboard if I want to go with another theme or product.
