20 Festive Christmas Mason Jar Crafts

Here are some tips to help you make the prettiest Christmas Mason jar crafts!

• Paint the outside of the jar. Only paint the outside of the jar if you are going to use it for food storage. Most paints are not edible or food safe.
• Mason Jar Storage. I found these Mason jar storage boxes to keep your decorative jars safe between seasons.
• No need to prime. Make sure you wash your jars before you paint them, but there is no need to prime them. If you choose the right paint, it will stick to the glass.
