April 29, 2014
Mason jars have taken over the DIY world. There are hundreds of different things to do with old mason jars. Whether they are used for a wedding or repurposed them to use as a gift, there are ways everyone can use them in a day-to-day life.
When thinking of ideas to put old mason jars to use, of course, Pinterest is the place to go. They have DIY ideas with mason jars for every occasion. Whether it be a soap dispenser, candle holder or a place to put make-up brushes, there are ways to utilize them for a low budget.
Specifically for a wedding, mason jars can be used for centerpieces, vases for flowers or a decoration that hangs from a tree. It is becoming a popular part of a wedding to include mason jars in some aspect.
A cool idea on Pinterest that takes seconds to make is a luminary. All that is needed is electric tea-light candles and mason jars. These can be a pretty idea if a wedding reception is outside and can be used to light up a path. The faint glow of the candles in the jars gives the setting a romantic vibe.
Another idea is paining the inside of the mason jars with mod podge and then dumping loose glitter into the jars. The glitter can coordinate with the color-scheme of the wedding and would be perfect at a candy bar or used as a centerpiece.
Using mason jars for a wedding can be a very inexpensive way to add character and personality to your ceremony. Not only are mason jars easy to come by, but they also can be used once the wedding is over for different decorations around the house.
