I will admit: this mason jar Jack O’Lantern Halloween craft is a commitment. There are multiple steps and a bit of precision vinyl sticker placement … oh, and a vinyl cutter … but the result? Pure magic! I just love how the inside-out paint treatment of the mason jars really give this Jack O’Lantern depth. Especially […]
Car in Jar Snow Globe
Car in Jar Snow Globe – Mason Jar Christmas Craft. I realize we’re only a few weeks into Fall. I realize we still have Halloween crafts in mason jars to make. I realize we still have Thanksgiving crafts in mason jars to make. But can you forgive me for jumping ahead to Christmas … just […]
Fall Mason Jars
Have you embraced fall yet? I know we’re just a few days in and the temperatures (in Chicago at least) are not yet fall-ish, but I’m feeling the vibe. As are the crafters on the internet. Take for example this fall mantel featuring … you guessed it … Fall mason jars. […]
Homemade Soft Scrub Recipe
There are a lot of things I wish I was. Thinner. Younger. Smarter … and a better keeper of the house. And when I say better keeper of the house, I mean I wish I was more diligent about cleaning. Because I’m not. I go in spurts of crazy cleaning frenzies […]
Mason Jar Tiramisu
Why is it every time I start a new diet, I’m suddenly bombarded with images and recipes for delicious desserts? No matter where I log on to — Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter, Instagram — I keep finding my friends sharing their newest creations. Or maybe a great tiramisu in a mason jar recipe. Like this […]
Macrame Mason Jar Holder
I remember when macrame made it’s first appearance on the fashion and home decor scene. And my friends and I would spend hours creating our macrame creations. A favorite was a macrame plant holder. We would hang them in our rooms filled with spider plants. And they would look fabulous for the first […]
Maple Leaf Mason Jar
A few weeks ago I shared the photo above of painted maple leaf mason jar luminaries on my Mason Jar Crafts Love Facebook fan page (here). It popped up in my personal newsfeed and I thought my fellow mason jar fans would love it. And boy did they love it. It turns out […]
Halloween Mason Jars
Please accept my sincerest of sincere apologies. Because I am not going to share a tutorial on how I made these adorable Frankenstein, pumpkin, and mummy mason jars. This post is a blatant plug for my Mason Jar Crafts for Kids book available on Amazon.com and BN.com and Indiebound.org and Books a Million. Just click here […]
Mason Jar Fairy Jar
Remember the days of catching fireflies in jars? It always sounded fun to me, right on up to the point where I had to touch a bug … Ugh! That part was not so fun. So I let my brother catch them for me while I held the jar. Some creative (and perhaps […]
Teacher Gift Idea: Flower Pencils
I have a friend in Georgia whose children went back to school last week. LAST WEEK! How could that be? We’re still in the throes of summer here in Chicago. The sun has finally come out. The humidity and crazy hot temperatures have finally arrived. Beach days spread out ahead of us for […]
Marimekko Mason Jar
I fell in love with Marimekko fabric the minute I set eyes on it. So fun. So vibrant. So expensive! Yes, I was not in love with the price per yard. So very, very out of my league. So what’s a Marimekko print lover to do? Make her own. With paint. […]
Minion Mason Jar
Minions. You either love them or hate them. Though, I have to say, I see much more love than hate. With the exception of my teen daughter. For some reason or other, Minions rub her the wrong way. And once she expressed her anti-Minion stance I took it upon myself to surround her with […]
Kid Craft for Summer
Where has the summer gone? Can you believe that there’s only about a month left to do all the things you and the ids want to do this summer vacation? And, speaking of which, what exactly do the kids want to do this summer? This really fun family mason jar project from hello, wonderful blog […]
Tropical Sunset Mason Jar
When I was a young girl, I used to doodle. A lot. I was a day dreamer. And many of those dreams involved sun and sand and water and palm trees. And over and over and over again I would create a tropical sunset vignette. With a little island. And a palm tree. With […]
Low Cal Margarita
Nothing says summer vacation like a margarita. On the rocks. Or frozen. I’ll take one either way. With salt on the rim. A slice of lime to garnish. Yum. Just thinking about it conjures images of sand and beach and warm tropical breezes. Sun kissed skin and that residue of sea salt from […]
Red White & Blue Mason Jar Salad
One more red, white, and blue idea for this Fourth of July holiday weekend. Only this one is edible. Red, white, and blue salad in a mason jar. It looks amazingly delicious. Combining some of my all time favorites. Strawberries. Blueberries. And do I spy a layer of crumbly cheese? Seriously, my mouth […]
Red, White, Blue Mason Jars
Happy 4th of July! And what better way to celebrate than with a collection of fabulous red, white & blue mason jar craft and recipe ideas! Enjoy! Stars & Stripes Lanterns from Addicted 2 DIY Patriotic Rice Candles from She Wears Many Hats Red White Blue Fireworks Mason Jars from Big Bear’s Wife […]
Baseball Uniform Mason Jar
I’m a Chicago Cubs fan. I know, I know. They have a sad track record. But I’m ever hopeful. We live less than a mile from Wrigley Field. And during baseball season, our neighborhood is bustling with Cubs blue-and-red-clad fans. All hopeful that this year will be our year. And all excited to spend […]
Mason Jar Matchbox
I’m not sure I would categorize this mason jar matchox as a Father’s Day gift idea, per se. Perhaps it’s more of a summer barbecue hostess (and host) gift idea? Either way, I think it’s just darling. If I do say so myself. 😉 And you could always dress this up as a Father’s […]
Kid’s Craft for Father’s Day
Since Father’s Day is all about dads I thought this kid-crafted mason jar project could be the perfect gift idea. I mean, how perfect would this homemade Father’s Day gift idea be to sit on dad’s desk at work, holding pens and pencils? Or perhaps as a jar to collect his loose change at […]
Mini Golf Mason Jar Gift
My husband is not a golfer. Which is fine with me. I dated a golfer a long, long time ago and did not enjoy a peek what life could have been a golf widow … But mini golf? That’s a whole other story. And my husband is free to rock the mini putting green. […]
Texas Flag Mason Jar
I’d like to say this Texas flag mason jar set was my idea. But I can’t. I have to come clean with you all. It was the brainchild of one of my Etsy customers. And since I loved how it turned out, I’ve listed it at the Etsy shop. And I also thought […]
Father’s Day Gift Tags
Have you noticed the price of a gift card can sometimes cost more than the actual gift? Okay, perhaps and exaggeration. But they do add up. First, the gift. Then the gift wrap. Then the card. Before you know it your $20 budget is now more like $25. That’s why I love free […]
Father’s Day Gift Jar
Let’s just go ahead and call this Father’s Day Gifts in Mason Jars Week. I wonder if I can get a Presidential Proclamation … or maybe a Mayoral one? Because, let’s face it, celebrating Father’s Day should be a national holiday. Especially if you have a father like mine … and […]
