I know everyone is jumping ahead to Christmas. But what about Thanksgiving? You know, that little holiday that revolves around a super delicious feast. Turkey and stuffing and cranberry sauce. Followed by pumpkin and apple pie … Not to mention that this is the time of year that the sweet potato gets to […]
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 […]
Pumpkin Mason Jars
I’m just so in love with these pumpkin mason jars that Desiree at The 36th Avenue created! Seriously. I love everything about them … from the different shades of orange she used to create her mason jar pumpkin patch, to the wooden knobs as stems, to the styling of the photo … to […]
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 […]
Spider Mason Jars
Spider Mason Jars – Halloween Craft Ideas with Mason Jars – Spider Craft for Halloween. I’m surprised this particular Halloween mason jar craft hasn’t been created yet. Or if it has, it certainly didn’t show up in my Google search … I found spiders on jars. And spiders in jars. And spider webs both […]
Zombie Mason Jars
Just when I thought the blogging and crafting world had exhausted every way a mason jar can be used for Halloween crafts … my daughter handed me this brilliant idea. Zombie mason jars! I was washing off some acrylic paint from a jar in the kitchen sink and my daughter commented that it looked […]
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 […]
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 […]

Apple Mason Jar
We’re gearing up for back-to-school at the Mason Jar Crafts Love household. And the list of “to do’s” seems never ending … school supplies … new clothes … haircuts … doctor appointments … and on and on. And now I need to add another thing to that list: teacher gifts. sigh. […]
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! […]
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 […]
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 […]

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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Shamrock Mason Jars
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 […]

You don’t have to be Irish to appreciate these amazing St. Patrick’s Day mason jars created by my lovely and talented friend Malia at Yesterday on Tuesday. That perfect hue of Kelly green … Those fun and fabulous shamrocks (you have to visit her blog to see how she made those as well […]
Deer Silhouette Jars
The snow is melting. The temperatures are rising. And I can almost smell Spring in the air … … almost. Okay, that’s a bit too hopeful. I live in Chicago after all. And it’s still February. I’m pretty sure we still have more snow in our future. But a girl can dream. […]
