I have a love/hate relationship with mason jars.
I like mason jars and find them very useful. However, I hate storing mason jars and feel that they take over my kitchen at times.
I’m always looking for ways to use mason jars. All of my baking supplies are in mason jars (I made labels so I can tell salt from sugar.) I store cotton balls in them in the bathroom. And as you saw a couple weeks ago, I turned one of them into my summer memory jar.
When I was looking for ways to decorate my memory jar, I stumbled across an article from Shutterfly. I use Shutterfly to make all my digital photo albums and other photo gifts, but I didn’t know they also did craft articles.
If you need ideas for a craft event, mason jars make a great starting point. Everyone has some, and you don’t need fancy craft supplies to turn it into something lovely. It’s perfect for both in-person and online sessions.
I love most of these ideas and will try them from time to time. Check out the article and see if you agree. It will be a great way to reduce the number of jars taking up space on my shelves. Plus, some of them would make nice gifts, and that has a double advantage.
