Mason Jar Christmas decorations are one of my favourites.

I use Mason Jars for so many things in my house, they are just so useful..

Check out my post on organising using Mason Jars if you don’t believe me!

I’m also a fan of using them for gifting… yip, I’ve done a post on that as well, you can see it here: Mason Jar gift ideas.

But they also look gorgeous when turned into homemade or handcrafted Christmas decorations.

I’ve included a couple in my big Homemade Christmas Decorations roundup post.

But I thought it would be useful to put together a list of great ideas for creating your own Mason Jar decorations.

In the name of speed, I’ve just added links…

Plus, just in case you’re not the craftiest of people, or you just don’t have the time, but would like to look like you’ve spent hours crafting a magical Christmas decoration or two…

I’ve also added in a little list of some totally love Mason Jar Christmas decorations over on my favourite “yes really, I made it myself” site… Etsy.
