Book Review- DIY Mason Jars

November 4, 2014 by Katie Smith Leave a Comment

I recently picked up this book, DIY Mason Jars. I love finding awesome crafting books, and with mason jars being such a trend this book is pretty awesome! I have an entire shelf on my bookcase filled with mason jars, some restyled and some not, so I was excited for this book. Here’s my review of it:


First, a little bit about it from Amazon: “With DIY Mason Jars, you’ll find everything you need to make one-of-a-kind creations with everyone’s favorite jar. Featuring step-by-step instructions and four-color photographs, this book will kickstart your creativity with thirty-five imaginative projects that will add a pop of fun to any room. It also includes darling label designs that turn ordinary containers into whimsical centerpieces and gifts you won’t be able to find anywhere else.”


What I like about the book is that the project categories are separated up, like “In the Kitchen” and “Around the Home” and “Useful Jars”. The first section of the book, Mason Miscellany, gives you extra info about the classic mason jar, history about jars and the types of jars.


While I think the projects are all adorable, a lot of the projects are geared more towards beginner crafters. Which isn’t a problem but if you’re looking for crafts with a lot of steps this isn’t the book for you.


Some of my favorite projects in the book are the Mason Jar Magents, Mason Jar Oil Lamps and the Potted Succulents. As a doodler, I also love the illustrations in this book.

Independent Crafters Information

On the Indie Crafts section of CraftGossip I like to support other indie artists by posting tips about running a handmade business, blogging and other helpful information. Once a week I try to feature handmade shops to showcase their work. I also like to share trendy, popular DIY's that I think are amazing and hope you do as well. If you are an Independent Artist or want to start a handmade business, this is the place to find resources.
