You will need a mason jar or two!  You can use vintage blue mason jars or the standard clear ones.  Whichever you prefer!  I had collected a number of mason jars when I had the flower shop to use for weddings and other events.

For this project, I used a combination of wide mouth and the ones with the narrow opening.

 
You will also need wire.  Any type of decorative flexible wire will do.  I used Oasis Rustic Wire.   The Rustic wire is the one on the left in the photo below.  To see how to make the handles out of the aluminum wire, please see this post: How to Make A Hanging Vase for a Late Summer Event

I made a handle out of one long piece of rustic wire.  I actually made it by wrapping it around the mouth of the jar.  I removed it from the jar so that you can see what it looks like and how I made the knots.
 

You will also need a shepards hook or something to hang your mason jar vase on.  A word of caution:  please make sure your handle is securely fastened to the jar before filling it with your floral arrangement.

I did a test “hang” over carpet in case it fell !  I didn’t want to break the glass jar!  Once you are confident that your handle is secure and can hold your jar, you are ready to fill your jar with either fresh or faux flowers!

Wouldn’t these look lovely by your front door for a special occasion?

Smither’s Oasis makes a wrapped wire that looks like raffia.  Pictured below is an example of a hanging mason jar with the “handle” made from the raffia like wire.

Oasis Rustic Wire : comes in two colors.  I chose the dark brown but it also comes in green.

Set of 2 shepard’s hooks.  I like the style of the bottom of this hook.  It looks like it would help secure the hook in the garden.

and don’t forget your handy vise grips to cut the wire!
