Mason jars are my absolute favorite craft supply. They aren’t intimidating, they don’t cost much and they’re infinitely adaptable – what’s not to like? Since Christmas is just around the corner and I haven’t started shopping for gifts yet, I’m feeling a twinge of last-minute anxiety. Since I don’t have a ton of time to look for gifts, I’m considering creating a few of these Mason jar crafts and giving them to my friends. My favorite idea is decorating the outside of a Mason jar and filling it with candy. I must say, though, I love unexpected Mason jar crafts, like vases.

I hope I did this right, was entering for the bead giveaway and the other 12 days of Christmas giveaway. the possibilities are pretty much the limits of your imagination
I really like the candle jar. I like candles, I like mason jars and putting them together is a brilliant idea. The Winter Wonderland candle jars are beautiful, but of course these jars can be decorated for other seasons, too. Faux flowers or leaves can be used in place of the pine cones to dress up a mason jar for spring, summer or fall.
