What Is This Girl’s Spring Night Craft (and Why Everyone Loves It)

At its core, this project is a mod-podged glass jar decorated with pressed flowers. But describing it that simply doesn’t quite do it justice.

Picture this: soft pink petals, delicate greenery, and tiny floral details layered onto glass, sealed with a glossy finish that catches the light just right. It feels like bottling up spring itself.

Why it’s perfect for a girl’s spring night:

• It’s easy enough for beginners
• It doesn’t require expensive supplies
• Everyone’s jar turns out completely unique
• It doubles as both a craft and a keepsake

And honestly? It’s one of those crafts where the process is just as enjoyable as the finished product.

Supplies You’ll Need for Your Spring Craft Night

Before you gather your friends, here’s everything to have on hand:

Basic Materials:

• Small glass jars (with or without lids)
• Pressed flowers (store-bought or DIY)
• Mod Podge (matte or gloss depending on your style)
• Small paint brushes or foam brushes
• Tweezers (optional but helpful!)
• Paper towels or wipes for cleanup
• Scissors (for shortening some of the longer greenery)

Optional Add-Ons:

• Battery-operated tea lights
• Name tags (great if you’re hosting a larger group)

If you can believe it, these jars actually came from Dollar Tree! They were the perfect size for this craft, and I loved the gold and rope detailing. I also managed to find small bottles of Mod Podge, foam brushes, and tea lights while I was there. Not only was this craft inexpensive, but it was also easy to gather most of the supplies in a single trip. Right next door was my favorite place to get lost in, Hobby Lobby! This is where I found the paper plates I put the jars on and the small bowls that held the Mod Podge. Next, I turned to Amazon, where I found the pressed flower packs, which were absolutely perfect for this girls’ night craft. I ordered two sets, which were plenty for myself and six friends with some left over.

Before everyone arrived, I had each place set up with the supplies they would need. This included a paper plate with the jar on top. (Trust me, you don’t want to put a jar with wet Mod Podge down on your tablecloth!) There was also a bowl with Mod Podge and a foam brush next to it. I scattered the sheets of pressed flowers and greenery around the table so everyone could pick and choose what they’d like on their jar. I didn’t have enough tweezers for everyone, which worked out because a lot of us just used our hands to delicately pick up everything. Scissors came in hand to trim pieces that were too long. When everyone was done, and the Mod Podge was dry, I went around with a mod podge sealer.

Everyone had a great time making their own unique jar and taking some time to relax and catch up with friends. I absolutely love hosting and can’t wait for the next girls’ night!

What to Do With Your Finished Jar

After your girls’ spring night wraps up, everyone will have a beautiful piece of decor to take home with them.

Not sure what to do with the jar? Here are a few ideas:

• • Place it on a bookshelf for a soft spring touch

• Use it in your bathroom to brighten up the space
• Add a tea light and turn it into a glowing centerpiece
• Display it on your kitchen counter
• Gift it to a friend or neighbor

It’s one of those pieces that quietly elevates a space without trying too hard.
