Autumn Jelly Jar Cookies (Tutorial)






When I first saw this cute jelly jar cookie cutter, I KNEW I had to make some fall jar cookies with it.

There are certainly tons of ways to decorate this shape.
I'm just showing two designs in this blog post.
Take them as inspiration and run wild to make these jar cookies your own.

For the burlap covered jar (left in photo)
 outline and flood the top portion of the cookie in white glaze.

For the fabric topped jam jar (right in photo), flood the bottom portion of the jar.


Once the glaze has dried for a while, add the corresponding top or bottom.
For the burlap topped jar (left), start adding burlap texture lines (either horizontal or vertical).




After 30 minutes, continue to add burlap texture lines in the opposite direction (left jar).
Also add an additional layer of glaze to the fabric topped jar on the right.
If desired, add a label to either jar at this point.



For the burlap covered jar (right in photo below), 
add some fringe burlap texture "spilling" over onto the jar.
Begin to add lines of "jute/string" around the crown of the jar covering.
Wait about 15 minutes between applying more piped "jute".
Once you get the string the way you want it, add a bow to the right side of the cookie.
Allow it to flow over onto the extensions on the side of the jar.


Dry overnight.

Brush the jars with caramel and light brown petal dusts to 
highlight the textures and give it an aged look.
