Spring DIY Mason Jar Crafts to Make With Kids

Spring is finally here! (At least the calendar says it is.) With the warmer weather hopefully just around the corner, I have been feeling all of the typical spring time urges. The urge to purge, to clean, to organize, and to tackle all of the home improvement projects that I’ve been thinking about all winter!

Along with all of those more grown up tasks, I am really looking forward to doing some Spring decorating in our home. One of my favorite ways to change up our decor is to DIY things from items we already have lying around. Enter the Mason Jars!

As you already know, Mason Jars are some of the most versatile little items in the universe. They have their obvious purpose for canning and preserving foods, but they can do so much more. I personally have switched all of our dried goods in our pantry to glass Mason Jars, in order to keep things fresh, and to keep the critters out!

Every now and again I find new ways to use these adorable jars in our home. From utensil organization by the stove, to homemade air fresheners in the bathrooms and DIY votive candle holders – these puppies are just about everywhere in our home.

After many hours of Pinterest stalking I have compiled my favorite Spring DIY Mason Jar Crafts here to hopefully inspire you! Many of these are kid friendly, and would also make a GREAT excuse to get the gal pals together for a craft night.

Easy Easter Craft: Easter Bunny Mason Jars

Peek-A-Boo Jars

If you like the idea of using spring themed Mason Jar crafts as gifts, then check out these Easter Bunny Treat Jars from Happiness Is Homemade. This style of painted jar is even simpler to create, and something even the youngest kids can make beautifully! Just add a bunny shaped sticker or vinyl decal on the jar, paint over it, and remove the sticker to leave a cute little window into the jar and the goodies that are inside.

Customize these with a little ribbon, some lace detail or daisy jar tops to give it some extra flair.

Chalk Paint Mason Jars with Succulents

Don’t forget about all of the other sizes that Mason Jars come in! Over at Mod Podge Rocks Blog they show you how to use what looks to be the Wide Mouth Pink 16 oz jars to make a spring inspired rustic planter for some faux succulents. Try adding smaller sized Mason Jar crafts in with standard and larger sizes to create more visual interest in your display!

Faux plants are a great option, especially for Mason Jar crafts like these, because they will keep on looking beautiful – even if you forget to water them.

Mother’s Day Brunch Ideas With Martha Stewart

Dreamy Bouquets

Now this final Mason Jar Craft idea may be my favorite, but it’s not so much as a tutorial as it is inspiration. The Mother’s Day Brunch Ideas article over at DesignImprovised.com walks you through the whole setup from decor to the tablescape and food inspiration. The Butterfly Bouquets are displayed in Mason Jars painted on the inside instead of the outside, which leaves the glossy appearance intact, and makes it almost look like the glass itself is colored!

The simplicity of the Baby’s Breath with the butterfly embellishments ties the whole theme together and brings such the light, feminine, spring theme to life!
