MASON JAR
CHRISTMAS CRAFTS
The holidays are coming up fast and if you’ve got a surplus of
Mason jars around the house, you’re in luck. These containers
aren’t just good for canning fruit and vegetables, they make an
excellent base for tons of winter projects. From gift giving to
holiday decor, here are ten great Mason jar Christmas crafts that
are easy, elegant, and fun to make.
Fun-size Gift Capsules
Why mess around with messy paper fi ller and trying to fi ll an
oversized basket? The standard Mason jar is a great size for
making small gift packages. This is an easy project for little hands
to help out with during winter break and can be personalized to
each person. Pamper coworkers and casual acquaintances with
jars fi lled with miniature chocolates, boutique salves, or relaxing
bath bombs. You can theme jars around fl avors, colors, or the
recipient’s favorite food. Does your favorite neighbor love pizza?
Fill a jar with gummy pizza candy, gift cards to their favorite
pizza place, pizza-shaped soap – the size of the jar makes it a
creative challenge to fi ll these gift capsules with small tokens of
the gift-giving season.
Holiday Floral Vase
This craft is especially good if you have jars, but don’t have lids
for them. Decide how best to decorate the vase to fi t your holiday
aesthetic: spray painting the jar gold or silver and leaving it as
is makes for a great minimalist piece, going crazy with brightly
colored ribbon, puff paints, or glitter will lend a jollier and more
eye-catching motif to your vase. However you decide to decorate
your Mason jar, remember to fi ll it with the fl ora of the season:
red berry stems, holly, mistletoe or lilies.
Recipe Mixes
Send a mason jar fi lled with all the dry ingredients for your
favorite recipe to mix up and bake on their own. Add the
ingredients one at a time to create a pretty layering effect that
shows off all the different ingredients and make sure to add a
ribbon around the neck of the jar with the instructions included.
Your mix doesn’t have to be limited to baked goods – drink mixes
like hot cocoa or mulling spices work well too and smaller jars
can hold really great spice mixes for seasoning dishes. You can
also add extra ingredients that will make your mix complete to
the ribbon around the neck of the jar, like mini marshmallows for
the cocoa or sprinkles or nuts for the baked goods.
