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.

Michaela McMillan is a UK-based mixed media artist known for her unique, narrative-driven sculptures made from recycled and found materials.
