Check out our list of Mesmerizing Mason Jar Crafts that’ll give you lots of ideas about how to upcycle those mason jars you have lying around!

You’ve definitely heard of mason jars and their many uses, but do you know where they’re from? What’s the deal about ‘mason’?

Isn’t it amazing how everyday, mundane things have such interesting histories that we’re unaware about? It’s the same with the Mason Jar, which gets its name from John Landis Mason, an American who invented and patented the jar with the screw-closing lid in 1858.

Since then, several manufacturers have come out with their own versions of the mason jar, and it is today a household name! While the original intention of the mason jar was to contain food, today mason jars are used for a variety of uses, in schools, homes and even offices!

So today we celebrate the mason jar with some cute mason jar crafts for kids of all ages. Some of these are easy enough for primary school goers, while some may be more appealing to older kids or teens. Let’s get creating!
