Hugs & Kisses Mason Jars
Sometimes we overthink things. Try to hard to make complicated hand-made gifts. When sometimes … … like this time … simplicity rules. I mean, what says I love you more than a blue mason jar with a simple chalkboard heart with the word hugs? Written in chalk. Oh, and be sure […]
Etched Mr. & Mrs. Mason Mugs
at this (affiliate) link on Amazon I’ve been wanting to etch mason jars for the longest time … and for the longest time I’ve had all the materials. Clean surface mason jar mugs. Check. Adhesive letter stickers. Check. Etching medium. Check. I’m not sure why I didn’t do this sooner. It truly is really easy. […]
Football Mason Jars
I’ll admit that I’m not a big football fan … I only know that Seattle and New England will be playing in this year’s big Bowl game because I have a sister-in-law in each state. So some jovial pre-game rivalry has kicked off. But I do like the commercials. And the food … […]
Turkey Glitter Jar
I discovered something yesterday. The reign of the glass baby food jar may be over. And that made me sad. I mean, if baby food no longer comes in little glass jars then how can someone make this adorable glittery turkey using a baby food jar? I think we need to start […]
Sweet Treat Pumpkins
These pumpkin topped mason jar treat holders are super sweet … oh, and inside they contain a super sweet candy mix that, according to this project’s creator, tastes just like a Payday candy bar! I love the natural stem. And the leaf. And the puffed up top … You can find […]
Halloween in Mason Jars
Can you believe Halloween is just a few short weeks away? Weren’t we just applying sunscreen and frolicking in the ocean yesterday? Where has the time gone? Speaking of time, there’s still time to make some fun Halloween crafts with the kids using mason jars. I’ve collected 30+ ideas here for you … […]
Halloween Boo Luminaries
These Halloween “BOO” luminaries are perfection! I love everything about them. The etched glass letters. The bats and the spiders. The bakers twine tied up with skulls … And the kicker is that perfect orange-yellow glow when lit up with flameless candles. These would be the perfect addition to your Halloween décor. You […]
Halloween Monster Jars
Can monsters be cute? It’s seems to be an oxymoron, right? But somehow these monster glitter slime monster jars from The 36th Avenue defy the odds … A perfect blend of not-so-creepy monsters and cute. And the glitter slime will keep your cute little monsters occupied for hours! You can find the tutorial […]
Halloween Treats in Jars
These Halloween mason jars are a two-in-one proposition. The outsides are decorated so cute with the wiggle eyes and bandages and black markers. But when you fill them up with some colorful cakes and icing and sprinkles? Yeah. That’s when the true Halloween magic happens! How cute would these be at a Halloween themed […]
Mason Jar Crafts for Kids Book
It’s official. I’m a published author. A published author of a mason jar crafts for kids book. That’s right. That’s my name up there. On the cover of my new book. A new book that is currently available to order on Amazon.com and BN.com and Indiebound.org and Books a Million. Just click here … […]
Spooky Mason Jar
I’ve admitted that I skew cute for Halloween. But that doesn’t mean I don’t appreciate the spooky too … like this super creepy eyeball in a mason jar. Shiver. There’s nothing like disembodied skeleton hands holding up an eyeball to send a shiver down your spine! How perfect would this be […]
Leaf Mason Jar
It’s almost Fall, y’all! Yeah, I can’t pull that off. Not with my Jersey-meets-Chicago accent. But what I can do is share a fabulous fall mason jar project idea. And this works equally as well in the South as it does in the North. Though, come to think of it, the deep South […]
Mosaic Mason Jar
Why is it that the start of school also triggers the start of fall? I mean, there are still two weeks left of summer on the calendar. With that in mind, I’m sharing one last summer project. A mosaic. On a mason jar. And before I begin my tutorial, I need to give […]
Halloween Crafts in Jars
I love a good round up of Halloween craft ideas. Especially when that Halloween craft idea round up includes mason jars … and especially when that mason jar craft round up includes not one, but two of my projects! When I saw this mason jar Halloween round up circulating on Facebook I knew […]
Easy Patriotic Mason Jars
It’s not too late to add a bit of patriotic red, white, and blue to your Labor Day festivities … and these darling mason jar flag luminaries are so easy to make. Seriously. You can whip them up faster than lighting the grill. You can find the full (and super easy) […]
Citronella Mason Jars
Summer may be winding down, but I don’t think the mosquitos have gotten the memo yet … at least not the mosquitos here in the Midwest. In fact, it seems like they are gearing up for another assault. Only this time stronger. And bolder … they keep sneaking inside my house! […]
Bathroom Organization
It seems like the older my kids get, the messier the bathroom becomes. Which seems counter intuitive. You would think that, as teens who are very capable of putting things away and reaching spaces much taller than I, that they would take responsibility for their things in the bathroom … Um. No. Not at […]
Nautical Mason Jars
I miss the beach. Sure, Lake Michigan is just a few short miles from my home. And that lake is ocean-like. But it’s not the same at the Atlantic coast … … and the Jersey shore. Sure, people make fun of my beloved home state. And MTV has forever saturized the image of the […]
Mason Jar Aquarium
Looking for a fun summer activity to keep the kids amused and entertained for hours? This mason jar aquarium might just fit the bill … Oh, and rest assured that no real fish were harmed in the creation of this project. You can find the tutorial for this super cute and clever mason jar […]
Gold Leaf Mason Jars
My friend Cassie at Primitive & Proper is a master of painted furniture. So it should be no surprise when she turned her furniture painting talents to mason jars, they turned out fabulous! Though, technically, this isn’t a paint treatment. She did use gold leaf, after all …. and effect she has used […]
Leather Mason Jar Hanger
Would you believe that’s a pickle jar hanging up there? That’s right. An upcycled … or recycled … or repurposed … pickle jar. A very stylish one, at that. It’s enough to make me want to eat my way through that jar of Vlasic Dill Spears sitting in my fridge. […]
Vacation Memory Jar
This post brought to you by FrogTape Brand Painter’s Tape. All opinions are 100% mine. If you told me I could only pick one vacation destination that I could visit for the rest of my life, I would pick the beach. Hands down. I’m a beach girl through-and-through. I grew up with sand between […]
Red, White, Blue Mason Jars
I think we’re all feeling a little red, white, and blue this weekend. You know … in case you haven’t heard … it is Memorial Day weekend after all! The unofficial kick-off of summer. And barbecue season. And, of course, to pay tribute to those who so valiantly fought – and sacrificed their lives […]
