I have this little love for mason jars to the point of becoming obsessed! Â I like the clear ones, blue ones, tall, short, with the metal clasp and without….
They all scream warm and homey to me!
That is why I also love mason jar crafts. Â You wouldn’t think that there is that much of a variety of things that you can do with a simple jar but you just might be surprised!
First of all, you can find many homemade gift ideas here. Â There are also plenty of craft ideas dedicated just to the outdoors. Â You can find these at my outdoor mason jar crafts post.
This first craft idea is something that I originally did for Easter. Â I painted the inside of a mason jar and added little die cut birds, out of vintage song sheets, around the clasp. Â See the tutorial here.
Another favorite way of mine to use mason jars is to make them into soap or lotion dispensers. Â I have made both rustic and chic versions!

Here are some other ideas that I found:
