A few weeks ago I shared the photo above of painted maple leaf mason jar luminaries on my Mason Jar Crafts Love Facebook fan page (here). It popped up in my personal newsfeed and I thought my fellow mason jar fans would love it. And boy did they love it. It turns out […]
Halloween Mason Jars
Please accept my sincerest of sincere apologies. Because I am not going to share a tutorial on how I made these adorable Frankenstein, pumpkin, and mummy mason jars. This post is a blatant plug for my Mason Jar Crafts for Kids book available on Amazon.com and BN.com and Indiebound.org and Books a Million. Just click here […]
Mason Jar Fairy Jar
Remember the days of catching fireflies in jars? It always sounded fun to me, right on up to the point where I had to touch a bug … Ugh! That part was not so fun. So I let my brother catch them for me while I held the jar. Some creative (and perhaps […]
Teacher Gift Idea: Flower Pencils
I have a friend in Georgia whose children went back to school last week. LAST WEEK! How could that be? We’re still in the throes of summer here in Chicago. The sun has finally come out. The humidity and crazy hot temperatures have finally arrived. Beach days spread out ahead of us for […]
Minion Mason Jar
Minions. You either love them or hate them. Though, I have to say, I see much more love than hate. With the exception of my teen daughter. For some reason or other, Minions rub her the wrong way. And once she expressed her anti-Minion stance I took it upon myself to surround her with […]
Tropical Sunset Mason Jar
When I was a young girl, I used to doodle. A lot. I was a day dreamer. And many of those dreams involved sun and sand and water and palm trees. And over and over and over again I would create a tropical sunset vignette. With a little island. And a palm tree. With […]
Low Cal Margarita
Nothing says summer vacation like a margarita. On the rocks. Or frozen. I’ll take one either way. With salt on the rim. A slice of lime to garnish. Yum. Just thinking about it conjures images of sand and beach and warm tropical breezes. Sun kissed skin and that residue of sea salt from […]

Baseball Uniform Mason Jar
I’m a Chicago Cubs fan. I know, I know. They have a sad track record. But I’m ever hopeful. We live less than a mile from Wrigley Field. And during baseball season, our neighborhood is bustling with Cubs blue-and-red-clad fans. All hopeful that this year will be our year. And all excited to spend […]
Mason Jar Matchbox
I’m not sure I would categorize this mason jar matchox as a Father’s Day gift idea, per se. Perhaps it’s more of a summer barbecue hostess (and host) gift idea? Either way, I think it’s just darling. If I do say so myself. 😉 And you could always dress this up as a Father’s […]
Kid’s Craft for Father’s Day
Since Father’s Day is all about dads I thought this kid-crafted mason jar project could be the perfect gift idea. I mean, how perfect would this homemade Father’s Day gift idea be to sit on dad’s desk at work, holding pens and pencils? Or perhaps as a jar to collect his loose change at […]
Mini Golf Mason Jar Gift
My husband is not a golfer. Which is fine with me. I dated a golfer a long, long time ago and did not enjoy a peek what life could have been a golf widow … But mini golf? That’s a whole other story. And my husband is free to rock the mini putting green. […]
Father’s Day Gift Tags
Have you noticed the price of a gift card can sometimes cost more than the actual gift? Okay, perhaps and exaggeration. But they do add up. First, the gift. Then the gift wrap. Then the card. Before you know it your $20 budget is now more like $25. That’s why I love free […]
Father’s Day Gift Jar
Let’s just go ahead and call this Father’s Day Gifts in Mason Jars Week. I wonder if I can get a Presidential Proclamation … or maybe a Mayoral one? Because, let’s face it, celebrating Father’s Day should be a national holiday. Especially if you have a father like mine … and […]
Father’s Day Gift Idea
This Father’s Day gift idea in a mason jar is so simple … and so perfect! The supplies are easy to find. All you need are mason jar, scissors, and some fun decorative paper. Oh, and don’t forget some of dad’s favorite treats and sweets to fill up the jars! You can […]
Baseball Mason Jar
Father’s Day is right around the corner. I know, right, how could that be? Wasn’t it just Christmas last week? So I’ve been brainstorming Father’s Day gift ideas. Okay, not exactly brainstorming. More like Google image searching Father’s Day gift ideas. 😉 And when this mason jar baseball gift idea popped up on that Google […]

Patriotic Rice Candles
There are so many things to love about a Memorial Day backyard barbecue. The friends. The family. The food. The libations … but my favorite part? The after. After the grill has been turned off and the paper plates and paper cups and plastic forks have been disposed of. When dusk settles […]
Red White Blue Mason Jars
Once again, Memorial Day has snuck up on me. How could it be this weekend? And I see Memorial Day as the kick-off of the Red, White & Blue season … The Patriotic Months. And the Patriotic Picnics and Barbecues. Memorial Day. Fourth of July. Labor Day. Which means it’s […]
Graduation Mason Jars
According to my Facebook news feed … which, by the by has become my new source of world events … graduation season is here. Because, mixed in with all the Prom and Spring Formal pictures are the college graduation shots. Replete in cap in gown. Some big stadium shots. Some smaller gathering around the […]
Mason Jar Cocktails
This Mother’s Day, forget the flowers. Forget the chocolates. Heck, forget the card … And give mom the gift of a good stiff drink. 🙂 In a mason jar, of course! These mason jar cocktail mixers are so clever. And the combinations are endless. In fact, Something Turquoise has mixed up […]
Bride & Groom Mason Jars
Wedding season has arrived … Well, the Spring and Summer wedding seasons. Because I think we all know that weddings take place all year long. Spring weddings (like mine) set against a backdrop of colorful new blooms … Summer weddings at the beach … Fall weddings set against the backdrop of […]
Glitter Monogram Mason Mug
Monograms. Check Glitter. Check Mason Jar Mugs. Check. This mason jar craft project has everything that is near and dear to my heart. You could call it the trifecta of mason jar craft ideas! I mean, who wouldn’t want to sip a fresh lemonade on a hot day from a glittery […]
Painted Daisy Mason Jars
I’m feeling inspired by Spring. Not that the flowers are blooming in Chicago. Yet … though I did spot a few buds poking their way out of the ground yesterday. Which gave me hope. But until the daisies fully bloom, I thought I’d make my very own bouquet. On mason jars, of course! […]
