Decorating with Mason Jars

m1

I was into mason jars when mason jars weren’t cool. My mother used them every summer. I think she had some left over from canning, and she thought they would make amazing glasses. And she was right.

I spent many a summer day with my toes in the green grass and the crickets chirping and the sun shining… with a mason jar full of sweet tea.

Want to add a little mason jar to your life? Here’s some projects and ideas on how to decorate with mason jars.

  1. Add fruit and flowers

    Add color to a back porch or outdoor space with mason jars used as vases. Fill with limes or lemons; then add water and fresh cut flowers from the yard. Group several vases together for a fun table top display.
  2. Personalize them

    Add a sticker or vinyl to your jar to make a unique centerpiece. You can create a monogram or spell out a word by placing a letter on each mason jar. This is perfect as a gift for a friend or wedding decor, too.
  3. Hanging mason jar vase

    You can make a simple wire holder for your mason jar or purchase one pre-made from any craft store. Hang a hook on a fence post or a reclaimed piece of wood. Then fill with water and fresh flowers and hang the wire holder on the hook.
  4. Stack them for a tiered centerpiece

    If one mason jar is amazing, why not seven? Fill mason jars with fresh flowers and stack them in a galvanized metal stand. Layering the flowers creates a beautiful centerpiece for your next party or get-together.
  5. Decorate with wire baskets
