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 […]
Pencil Mason Jar
I’ve heard rumors that it’s back-to-school season. In fact, I know of some people whose kids have been back to school for weeks … So sad! My kids still have a few weeks left. Chicago public schools aren’t in session until the Tuesday after Labor Day. Which gives me plenty of time to […]
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 […]
Green Mason Jar Planter
I have a case of the green mason jars but haven’t quite figured out what I want to do with them. That is until I spotted this amazing hanging planter idea from Redhead Can Decorate … How fun! How clever! I mean, really. This is an amazing idea! And I just love how […]
Pink & Gold Painted Jars
You all know I love a painted and distressed mason jar project. But do you know what I love even more than a painted mason jar project? One that was almost a fail … but was rescued in the end. A painted mason jar project that combined talent and ingenuity to create something beautiful. […]
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 […]
Stars & Stripes Lanterns
When I saw these red, white, and blue mason jars, I clunked my head … and then I fell off my chair. I mean, how genius is this take on the American flag mason jar design? So simple to add a few dots and stars so that these amazing jars can be lit […]
Patriotic Candle Holders
Is it just me, or are mason jars becoming a Fourth of July celebration staple? Just take a look at Pinterest and you’ll find a ton of red, white, and blue mason jar craft ideas … I shouldn’t be surprised by this turn of events.. Mason jars are American invented and American made, after […]
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 […]
Mirrored Mason Jar
I was so excited when I spotted Amy’s mirrored mason jar craft, especially since she used blue – and green – mason jars for her project! And while I do like the look of the clear, somehow the blue and the green jars just make this project pop. You can’t help but stand back […]
Union Jack Flag
I thought I shared this Union Jack flag mason jar here months ago. But I didn’t … and now I’m scratching my head wondering why not? Perhaps I thought I’d wait until we were closer to the red, white, & blue celebration season. You know, the summer trifecta. Kicking off tomorrow with Memorial […]
Mason Jar Vase
Doesn’t this mason jar vase scream Happy Mother’s Day? It’s so fun. And fresh. And bright. It would cheer up even the un-cheeriest of moms. All the stresses of the day would simply melt away as she’s presented with such a pretty token of appreciation … and the colorful tulips don’t hurt […]
Stenciled Glass
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. […]
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 […]
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 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 […]
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
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 […]
Green & Gold Mason Jars
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! In celebration of all that is green and pot o’ gold, I thought I’d share some of my favorite mason jar green and gold St. Patrick Day craft ideas: 1. Gold Glitter Mason Jar Candles from Madigan Made 2. St. Patrick’s Day Green Shamrock Mason Jars from Yesterday on […]
