7 Fall Inspired Mason Jar Crafts

Mason jars are not just for bottling and canning anymore. By simply adding some paint or little embellishments, you can have a beautiful vase, centerpiece, candy jar or about anything else you could imagine. These 7 mason jar ideas are brought to us by bloggers around the web with their creative ideas to add a little fall touch to our décor and crafting. Of course any recycled glass jar will work for these crafts too.

I don’t know about you, but I have a box in my cupboard just for storing reusable jars. We have started using them for smoothies on the go too. My children are great at losing lunch boxes so we have started re-using the jars for things that may get lost. I realize that is not recycling them, but it is giving them one more chance at life before being thrown, lost, or misplaced. Jars are so versatile and pasta sauce jars are always airtight, making them perfect for liquids. Once they lose their lid, off to the craft room cupboard they go.

Do you know the history of the Mason jar? Threaded screw-top jars “such as these are meant to be air and water-tight” were patented in 1858 by a 26-year-old Mason. The original mason jars were made of clear aqua glass and are frequently referred to as “Crowleytown Jars” by collectors since so many people think the New Jersey town of Crowleytown is where they were first produced.

Welcome back to our Sunday Etsy Spotlight Series, where we bring you the best handmade inspiration from creative Etsy sellers across the globe. At CraftGossip.com, we love supporting small businesses, and this weekly spotlight is our way of helping indie pattern designers get the attention they deserve—while giving you fresh DIY motivation every week.

This week’s feature? The stunning Clover Quilted Jacket Sewing Pattern—a cozy-chic staple that belongs in every handmade wardrobe.

You’ve seen quilted jackets trending everywhere from high-end boutiques to farmer’s markets, and now you can make your very own. The Clover Quilted Jacket has that perfect blend of structured warmth and effortless style.

It’s the kind of garment that looks like you bought it from an expensive slow-fashion brand—but feels even better because you made it yourself.

What we love about this pattern is how approachable it is. Whether you’re already deep into your garment-sewing era or just ready to venture beyond tote bags and pouches, this jacket is a satisfying project. It’s a straightforward, step-by-step process with enough visual flair to make it fun.

And the best part? That quilted texture means you can use up your favorite scraps or even repurpose an old quilt for a totally one-of-a-kind look.

Make it with florals for a romantic cottagecore vibe, or try solids in linen or canvas for a modern, minimalist touch. This jacket is versatile enough to throw over dresses, jeans, even cozy lounge sets. It’s not just a sewing project—it’s a wardrobe essential.

Plus, the drop shoulders and simple collar give it a relaxed feel without sacrificing shape. It’s put-together comfort, and who doesn’t need more of that?

Here at CraftGossip, we believe in handmade—both in the projects we create and the creators we support. Etsy sellers are the heartbeat of the DIY community, pouring their time, energy, and creativity into patterns that help you bring beauty into your life.

This series is our way of celebrating them. Each Sunday, we shine a light on an Etsy pattern that deserves a spot on your sewing table—and in your closet.

If you’ve been dreaming of that one cozy jacket you can throw over anything, the Clover Quilted Jacket is the project to make next. Snag the pattern here on Etsy and start dreaming up your fabric combinations.

Tell us—would you go boho with patchwork or sleek with neutrals? Let’s chat in the comments!

Join us next Sunday for another Etsy Spotlight. We’ll keep the indie love going—one amazing pattern at a time.
