You might be sensing a theme here on Mason Jar Crafts Love this week. A theme that involves back-to-school and teacher gift ideas … Yep. That’s exactly what’s going on. As I mentioned earlier this week, we are gearing up for the first day of school. Which is the Tuesday after Labor Day for […]
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. […]
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 […]
Mason Jar Gift Card Holder
I’m going to make a confession here today. And it’s a shocker. But here goes … I give gift cards. That’s right. This crafty blogger doesn’t give crafty gifts. {holds head in shame} I take the easy way out. Because, well, it’s easy. But this mason jar gift card holder idea […]
Homemade Makeup Remover
Sometimes this blog is about crafts you can make with mason jars. And sometimes it’s about things you can make and then store in your mason jars … because mason jars are, after all, made for storage! I was minding my own business, puttering around Pinterest the other day when this homemade makeup […]
Teacher Gift & Printable
Sometimes it feels like my kids are the only ones still attending school in June. My Facebook news feed is filled with pictures of graduation and proms and last days of school picnics … and yet my kids are still have final exams. Sigh. It also means I’m still thinking about end-of-year […]

So if you, like me, are now scrambling for a year-end teacher gift, here are some clever teacher gift ideas using mason […]
Teacher Gift: Cookie Mix
I love the idea of cookie mix in a mason jar, but have always been worried about getting the mix of ingredients right. Especially when using a pint-sized mason jar. I mean, a bit too much flour or not enough chocolate chips could have disastrous results …. Thankfully my friend Marty at Marty’s Musings […]
Teacher Gift: Pencil Holder
I haven’t been in a classroom for quite some time. Well, as a student that is … But I’m pretty sure the number 2 pencil still rules. The number 2 pencil is still the testing go-to. I’ve sharpened enough for my kids … So what teacher wouldn’t appreciate a stylish number 2 […]
Teacher Gift & Printable
Do you remember your favorite teacher? The one who actually made you look forward to school? The one who made you feel like a star? Yeah, me too. And chances are, you were probably her favorite too. Even though she (or he) really wasn’t suppose to pick favorites. Wouldn’t you love to go […]
Teacher Gift Idea
Teacher’s gifts don’t have to be complicated. I think that we parents (especially us moms) tend to overthink things … I mean, what teacher wouldn’t love to get a special note of appreciation. Tied to a jar filled with gumballs? And to make this even easier for us over-thinking moms, there’s even a […]
Teacher Gift: Pencil Jar
I think this teacher gift idea might just be the cutest and most clever one I’ve seen this year … Not that I’m showing favoritism. Or trying to make all the other wonderful mason jar teacher gift ideas feel bad. They are equally as wonderful. And any teacher would be thrilled to receive them. […]

I’ve been collecting Mother’s Day gift ideas on my Pinterest boards. And the Mason Jar Rubs & Scrubs board is filling up quickly. It’s where I saved this amazingly delicious sounding Peppermint Body Scrub recipe. Seriously. Doesn’t it just sound good enough to eat? Don’t you just want to slather yourself up […]
Monogram Manicure Jar
I’ve stumbled across the perfect Mother’s Day gift for the girly mom. You know the ones … the moms who take a shower each morning before dropping their kids at school. They’re the moms who style their hair. And apply makeup. And whose nails are always perfectly polished … even if their […]
DIY Shaving Cream
My teen girl has started the whole shaving of the legs thing. It’s a bit traumatic. And there is a learning curve involved … like how the razor needs to move from ankle to knee, and not the other way around. I keep promising to get her some shaving cream. How it will make […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Spring Wedding Jars
Mint green and coral are supposed to be big wedding colors this year. At least that’s what the experts are saying. So in anticipation, I made some of these jars for the Etsy shop. And, yes, this is one of those posts. You know the one. Where I shamelessly hawk my Etsy shop. […]

Valentine For Teacher
In my book, there’s nothing wrong with a little buttering up of the teacher. A little brown nosing with a sweet treat … … and Valentine’s Day is the perfect occasion to let the teachers in your life know how much you appreciate all they do for the kids with a homemade S’mores snack mix […]
