Mason Jar Gifts

 

First stop, mason jar gifts. Anyone who claims to be a DIY-er has done at a least one of these before, and we are no exception. We love using these gorgeous Vintage Jardin Jars, which come in cute colors, for our Mother’s day gift.

Here’s our list of top Mother’s Day DIY mason jar gifts:

 

Mason Jar Vase

The first, and probably the most obvious, is a vase crafted out of a mason jar. This can be used to display a beautiful bouquet of Mother’s Day flowers. All this craft takes is a little jar decoration and some flowers, either freshly picked or bought. Whatever you choose, a beautiful vase full of flowers will make her day.

Fairy Light Jars

Fairy light jars are an incredibly popular DIY project that can be created with two simple items, a jar and some string lights. These stunning jars can be used in place of candles or night lights in a living room, sunroom, or a little one’s bedroom.

For Mother’s Day, try grouping a series of fairy light jars together to create a beautiful mason jar centerpiece. This would be perfect for decorating the dining table or for lining the length of a picnic table.

To create a fairy light jar, all you need is a mason jar and some battery powered fairy lights. Then, place the battery pack at the bottom of the jar. Cover the battery pack with a little moss or filler so it’s out of sight, arrange the fairy lights inside the jar and you’re done!

Now onto the most popular of DIY Mother’s Day gifts of all! Terrariums! Any mom that loves plants will love getting one of these trendy treasures. Our number one tip on how to make a terrarium is... keep it simple! That means not overdoing it on the terrarium plants, stones or knick knacks.
