Mason jar crafts are a great DIY project you can make and give as a gift any time of year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I always see mason jars at thrift stores and yard sales for dirt cheap! Even if you have to purchase them at full price they are a bargain. I usually buy them in a set of eight or twelve to use for craft or decorative ideas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Making these inexpensive crafts is a great way to decorate for the different holidays without spending a lot of money. Most of these projects require supplies you probably already have or can pick up at Michaels or Hobby Lobby. And who doesn’t love a trip to the craft store?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lately my girls have started to drink out of mason jars, so my craft stash is depleting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below we’ve compiled some of the best mason jar craft ideas we’ve found on the internet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There’s simply something magical about shaking the jar and seeing the “snow” slowly float to the bottom. Maybe it’s because I grew up in Florida and didn’t experience snow until I was older, but any snow globe catches my attention. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can make your own with a few simple craft store supplies, and of course a mason jar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
