It’s amazing what you can do with a Mason jar, in fact, it can be truly magical. I love to experiment with Mason jars as lighting options and outdoor lanterns. The twinkly illumination they give off is so stunning, especially on a hot summer night.

When I’m not turning my old Mason jars into lanterns, I also love to experiment with different ways to use them as vases and centerpieces. These Mason jar ideas are perfect for parties and special occasions. I went to a wedding this summer and the bride had stained old Mason jars to match her color scheme before using them as vases for floral centerpieces. The tables looked absolutely stunning! This wedding inspired me to collect all of my favorite magical ways to use Mason jars as decorations.
