This Mason Jar Ice Cream Bar Will Make Any Party a Hit

May 1, 2015 by Dana Hinders

Mason-Jar-Ice-Cream-Bar

Who says that weddings are the only occasions worthy of unique and creative ideas? If you’re looking for a fun and fabulous way to serve ice cream at your next special event, then look no further than this amazing idea of serving individual portions of ice cream in mason jars.

While this idea was originally intended for a wedding reception, it is versatile enough to be used for any special occasion, such as birthday parties, picnics, or even a casual backyard gathering. The concept is simple: instead of using messy cones or tubs and paper bowls, scoop individual servings of ice cream into mason jars and chill them in a large ice bucket. This not only makes for a beautiful presentation but also keeps the ice cream cold and delicious.

To make this idea even more personalized and fun, provide an assortment of chopped fruit, sprinkles, and other ice cream toppings in matching containers. Guests can then scoop their favorite fixings into their mason jar of ice cream to create a sweet treat that is customized to their liking.

The best part about this idea is that it is incredibly easy to execute. All you need are some mason jars, an ice bucket, and your favorite ice cream flavors and toppings. It is a great way to add a fun and interactive element to your event while also keeping things simple and hassle-free for yourself.

This idea is also environmentally friendly as it eliminates the need for disposable cups or bowls. Mason jars can be reused, which reduces waste and helps the planet.

In addition to being perfect for special occasions, this idea is also great for casual summer gatherings or even a family movie night. You can set up a DIY ice cream bar and let everyone create their own unique combinations. A great way to make single-serve icecream for every day family life too. A simple way to control the mess and allow children to grab their own icecream.

Serving individual portions of ice cream in mason jars is a fantastic idea that is perfect for any occasion. Not only does it look beautiful and personalized, but it is also practical, fun, and environmentally friendly. So, the next time you’re planning a special event, consider stealing this idea and impressing your guests with a sweet treat they won’t forget!

Designer Spotlight: TesLime Cross Stitch

If your cross stitch tastes run to anime, fantasy, Disney, gnomes and the like, you’ll want to check out TesLime Cross Stitch on Etsy. This Dublin-based Etsy shop boasts more than 1,000 cross stitch patterns, with a strong pop culture bent.

The largest category in the shop is Disney, and there’s a separate Disney princess category, so there’s nearly 300 Disney themed cross stitch patterns in all. Some of these are chibis but a lot of them are pretty direct copies of Disney characters. Do with that what you will.

There’s also a large fantasy section that’s heavy on Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, dragons, aliens and trolls. In the hero section you’ll find Star Wars, Harley Quinn and the Joker, the Avatar, and Marvel characters. And in anime, there’s lots of Pokemon, Attack on Titan and Ghibli-inspired designs, to name a few.

The thing that caught my eye in this shop wasn’t any of that, though. It was sardines.

There are actually several different patterns in this shop of cans of sardines. I don’t really know why, but they’re just so weird and silly that’s what I had to share. In particular this one, where the little fish are wearing little shirts. Why? Again, I don’t know, but it’s kind of cute, right?

This design is 100 by 130 stitches and uses 21 colors. It comes out to 7.14 by 9.29 inches, or 18.14 by 23.59 cm, when stitched on 14 count fabric (the pattern includes measurements for some other counts, too, if you want to make it smaller).

And all of that barely scratches the surface. There are more than 100 Christmas cross stitch patterns (these are heavy on Disney, too). A steampunk raven. A large collection of gnomes.

I think you’re just going to have to go check it out for yourself and see what strikes you. If you end up buying one of their patterns, I’d love to hear what you chose! Check them out at www.etsy.com/shop/TesLimeArt on Etsy.
