1. Mason Jar Wind Chimes
So, these beautiful wind chimes are more for decorating the outside of your home, but that's important, too. This is a great project for also using up some of that old vintage jewelry you may have on hand. You'll need to cut your jars in half and then drill holes to hang the jewelry. I absolutely adore the rustic look of these and they're really simple to make – if you have the right tools on hand.

2. 4th Of July Flag Display
Really decorate for Independence Day by turning those mason jars into a rustic flag display. This mini flag mural is perfect to grace your outdoor dining table during summer cookouts or you could display it inside on a mantel or anywhere you want to bring a bit of patriotic spirit to a room. Use the jars to hold silverware or if you're using them inside, you can turn them into lovely vases. You just need to paint them appropriately and you're all set with a 4th of July display that you're sure to be proud to show off.

3. Mason Jar Air Fresheners
We all love our homes smelling nice, right? Problem is, store bought air fresheners can be so boring and generic. They have created some really decorative ones, but none of them come close to these DIY air fresheners housed in old mason jars. You can even paint the jar to match your décor. The actual air freshener is just baking soda and essential oils and the scent lasts for a long, long time! You can customize your air fresheners and make a different one for each room.

4. Beachy Terrarium
Turn those summer beach vacation memories into a beautiful display with this beachy terrarium that you house in a mason jar. Add some sand and seashells and anything else from your vacation that you want to display like maybe small pieces of driftwood. Then, just add a decorative ribbon or rope to the jar and seal it up. You'll love looking at your beach memories – I mean, who doesn't just love the beach?

5. Fishnet Wrapped Decorative Jars
In keeping with a beach theme, you can also create this really pretty fishnet wrapped decorative jar to go along with your beach décor. This one uses a blue mason jar but you could use a plain one, or paint the ones that you have any color you like. Blue really does give it that seaside appeal, though. You'll need twine to make the fishnet and then about an hour or so to complete it. I love this for holding seashells!

6. Crayon Covered Gift Jars
Whether you are looking for a nice gift for teachers or children or you just want an attractive way to store things in the kids' rooms, these crayon covered jars are perfect. You simply line up the crayons in whatever color scheme you want and then tie them together with a ribbon. These are great for holding candies and other things at birthday parties or make wonderful desk jars to hold pencils on your child's desk.

7. Color Block Chalkboard Jars
These chalkboard jars are great for tidying up your desk and making it more decorative. You choose whatever colors you want, and when you're finished, you can use them to hold pens or pencils or even as a vase to brighten things up with fresh flowers. I love how simple this one is, and how colorful it can be. You could even change colors to match the seasons – these take very little time to complete.

8. Mason Jar Chandelier
I did promise you a mason jar chandelier – and here it is! This is so much easier than you probably think and it is absolutely gorgeous when it's finished. You'll need several jars, and there is a bit of cutting and marking as well as wiring required to make this one. I adore the idea of a mason jar chandelier in the dining room – but you could honestly put it in any room and it would look great.

9. Stained Glass Mason Jar Art
I just can't get enough of these stained glass mason jars. No matter what you use them for, they are absolutely gorgeous and would make wonderful displays for flowers or just about anything else. I also love the idea of doing these for lights instead of just using plain jars. They're easy to do, you basically just have to mark off your spots and paint. I can imagine these would make really pretty candles or you could just sit them on a shelf all by themselves.

10. Mason Jar Soap Dispenser
Add some style to your kitchen or bathroom with a mason jar soap dispenser. You just add the soap and a pump handle and you're all set. These are so easy – you don't have to decorate them at all unless you just want to. I have one of these in my kitchen for dish soap and get compliments on it all the time. You could also put hand sanitizer in them and have matching sets in the bathroom of soap and sanitizer.

11. Glass Jar Frames
These mason jar picture frames are so creative and so very easy. You just roll the picture up and stick it in the jar. You could use mod podge on the backside of the picture if you want t make sure that it stays in place. These are so decorative and you could decorate the lids and replace them as well if you wish. Use different sizes of jars to create an entire display area of your favorite pictures.

You just need glitter paint and some mod podge with a few other basic craft supplies and you can use these to show off your favorite spring flowers. Do different colors and designs to create a display for the mantel – and let the kids help. They'll adore helping you glitter!

13. DIY Jar Lamps
These jar lamps are sort of like the mason jar chandelier but with just single jars. You can put these in any room or on the porch to help decorate up your outdoors. They are fairly easy to make and allow you to add rustic charm to any living space. You can use a premade lamp kit or use the inside of an old lamp for the light. These are amazingly decorative and such a great weekend project.

14. Mason Jar Snow Globes
Even if Christmas is over, you know you love the appeal of snow globes. You don't have to wait until the holidays to display these lovely decorations, and you can even customize them so that they're perfect all year round. Add bunnies and ducks to create an Easter snow globe or seashells for a beachy theme. Encased in a mason jar, these are so easy to make and you can literally create a snow globe for any occasion.

15. Lucky Jar Vases
Saint Patrick's Day is not a holiday that everyone decorates for, but you can with these great lucky jar vases. Just paint your mason jar or jars green and then use them to hold your favorite spring flowers. You can use spray paint on these, which makes them really easy and you can get spray paint at the Dollar Store for about a dollar or so, so they're really inexpensive as well. The bold green color is perfect for showing off your Irish pride.

16. Mason Jar Backdrop For Weddings
I really love the idea of using mason jars and other rustic items for wedding decorating. I came across this gorgeous backdrop that would be perfect for your outdoor country wedding. You just hang mason jars from this lovely pipe structure and you can use this to decorate in any number of areas. Lace and burlap on the jars make them even more rustic wedding looking and you could add flowers or tealight candles if you wanted, as well.
17. Metallic Vases
Use these lovely metallic vases to create a centerpiece for the dining room table or just sit them in the living room on a sofa table. You just spray paint your jars – however many you want to use for the centerpiece – with metallic spray paint, which you can get at the Dollar Store for a dollar or so per can. Then just let them dry and add your flowers.

18. Sea Glass Jars
Using Elmer's glue and your choice of food coloring colors, you can create these nice sea glass jars. These would be great for Easter vases or you could just fill them with seashells or even leave them empty. The colors are what make them so fabulous, and again, you can choose whatever colors you want. The trick is in how you color them so whatever colors you choose, they are going to be gorgeous.

19. Outdoor Jar Chandelier
You don't just have to keep those mason jars for indoor decorating. If you have a patio – or even if you don't – and you want some great lighting, this outdoor jar chandelier is perfect. Clear Christmas lights provide the lighting and then you just add burlap or any other decoration that you want. I love these for lighting up the patio area or even as an extra light for the end of a porch or deck. They're easy to make and look so great hanging on the porch.

20. Mason Jar Wall Sconce
Here's a great lighting idea for the interior of your home. It's decorative, easy to make, and really inexpensive – three of my favorite things! I love this idea for bathrooms and laundry rooms, but you could use it wherever you need to. You just replace your old light covers with mason jars – well, there is a little work involved, but you get the picture. Whether you use a clear jar or a blue one, this is definitely going to give your home a nice rustic look and feel.
