Linda, Author at Mason Jar Crafts Love

I fully realize this stenciled glass project is not using mason jars. I’m pretty sure I can discern the difference between a mason jar and a wine bottle … well, as long as I haven’t had a glass … or two … of wine. But when I spotted these stenciled glass wine bottles on […]

Nail Polish Mason Jar Art

A few months back I spotted this nail polish “painting” idea. But it’s not really painting in the true sense of painting … and it certainly isn’t the way you would use nail polish to paint your finger nails. Or toes. And I pinned this idea with the idea of trying it out […]

Button Storage

I’m thinking Angie at The Country Chic Cottage may have a bit of a button obsession … She certainly has quite the collection. A collection that, until she pulled out her blue heritage mason jars, was quite the mess. So she sorted and organized and, in the end, created a really cute button storage idea. […]

Homemade Peanut Butter

I would never in a million years have thought to make my own peanut butter at home. Seriously. I just assumed that making peanut butter would be complicated. And messy. And take a really long time … Turns out I was mistaken. And, in fact, it’s pretty easy. The best part […]

Marble Look Mason Jar

It’s no secret that I’m a fan of the painted mason jar … having painted one or two … okay, more like hundreds upon hundreds … of mason jars myself. But my painted mason jars only involve a single color. Applied in multiple layers. So when I saw this marbleized mason […]

Easter Trail Mix

Why is it that just about every holiday comes with food? And not healthy food. No, things that are rich and sweet and delicious … foods you can’t stop eating. Foods like this Easter candy trail mix. Yum! And I love how the mason jar was dressed up with bunny ears […]

Easter Muddy Buddy Mix

This colorful, candy-coated Easter Chex Mix sounds like the perfect combo of sweet and salty … and I’m a huge fan of the sweet with the salty! Jenn at The Rebel Chick suggests mixing up this recipe with the kids. And then, of course, packing it up in a mason jar … […]

Easter Treat Jars & Printable

The ladies at Uncommon Designs blog have some of the cutest mason jar crafts around. Take these adorable Easter treat jars … I love that they used the mini mason jars for these. Perfect size for individual gifts for kids. But my favorite is the Bunny Tails jar topper – complete with fuzzy […]

Peeps Milkshake

My brother-in-law is a huge Peeps fan. As in he actually eats them … and here I thought they were just for kids! I haven’t had a peep in … oh … more years than I’d like to share here! But this Peep milkshake from Kleinworth & Co. has me thinking I may […]

Mason Jar Easter Basket

Easter crafts are all about the cuteness, right? How could they not be what with all the cute fuzzy bunnies and cute fuzzy little chicks …. and how or why cute fuzzy bunnies and fuzzy chicks have become synonymous with Easter is beyond me. All I know I know is that this Easter […]

Mason Jar Easter Chick

This mason jar Easter chick is beyond cute … it’s truly, marvelously clever too! The use of material for the wings is ingenious … and I’m not going to tell you what was used. Nope. I’m going to send you to Shaken Together blog for the instructions. Oh, and while you’re there […]

Mason Jar Candle

I’ve been a bit obsessed with mason jar candles. I have my melting pot and wax and wicks and scented oils all ready to go … but I haven’t yet melted that wax. I’m not really sure what I’ve been waiting for … perhaps some inspiration … like this awesome funfetti […]

Lemon Meringue Pie

Lemon meringue pie conjures memories of Spring. And Easter … Easter dinners following Easter Mass. My sisters and brother and I all dressed up in our new Easter finest. Us three girls in varying hues of pastels. With matching coats. And hats. And gloves. And shiny white patent leather shoes. I loved […]

Mason Jar Wind Chime

I think I may just be in love with this mason jar wind chime … and I’m not even a wind chime fan. But when I first spotted this wind chime floating around Pinterest, I knew I had to share it here. With all of you … my fellow mason jar craft […]

Striped Painted Mason Jar

In anticipation of the first day of Spring, I’m sharing yet another Spring-y painted mason jar. Though, I didn’t paint this pretty striped jar … The lovely Carrie at Lovely Etc. created this masterpiece. I especially love the vintage jar she chose. Carrie offers a full tutorial on how she made this fun […]

Painted Mason Jars for Spring

by Linda 7 Comments

It was just about this time last year that I painted my first mason jar. Well, not just one. My painted mason jars featured a set in fun, Spring-y colors … I had originally posted the jars on my other blog, It All Started With Paint. At the time, I was questioning if I […]

St. Patrick Day Gift Idea

Sure, St. Patrick’s Day is all about the green. But we can’t forget the infamous colorful rainbow. You know the one … the one that leads to a pot of gold! The lovely ladies at Uncommon Designs are as nuts about crafting and cooking and gifting with mason jars as I am. And […]

Shamrock Mason Jars

by Linda 4 Comments

I thought we could all enjoy a little green today. Some Irish-loving-St.-Patrick’s-Day-shamrock-loving green … embellished with gold. Like these darling shamrock mason jars from Club Chica Circle. Topped off with some green and white baker’s twine. The gold shamrock jar would be a perfect pot of gold filled with some gold candy […]

Gold Dinosaur Topped Jars

My friend Elena at ‘a casarella’ was wondering if the whole painting of plastic animals was overdone in blog land. And to that I say no …. no, no, no, and no! I can’t get enough of this trend. Especially when said painted animal – or dinosaur, in this case – sits atop […]
