It’s just amazing when you think about the things that you can make from a single item that you might have thrown away during the years as useless. The mason jar is one of those things that you probably have dozens of stashed away in your home without using them. But just because you don’t need them anymore for their original purpose doesn’t mean that you can’t make use of them. On the contrary, mason jars are a very popular platform for many DIY projects that do not require any specific skills and materials to craft by yourself. You can use them to craft all kinds of items, for example party decorations, storage, lights, home decor etc. There are just way too many things that you can craft from mason jars to list here so we’ll let you see them by yourself in the images below.
