Have you made anything with a mason jar? I would love to hear about it, so leave me a comment!
The individual mason jar deserts are killing me, they’re SO adorable. Such a charming rustic touch for a wedding or dinner party.

I the lights in the jar and have been wanting to do this for a while now.
U can get some clear glue and put all around the inside and then get your favorite color glitter and coat the hole inside of jar. Shake out the glitter that doesn’t stick. The hole jar should be covered in glitter. Once it’s dry then put a tea light candy in it. It’s really beautiful when light.
I have made salads with using the mason jar as a container. Also my sister in law has used it as a bridal favor.
