Mason Jar Decor Idea: Mason Jar Easter Crafts
Easter is such a wonderful holiday, isn’t it? Around here, we love to maximize the celebration (not just with Easter, but all the holidays we celebrate)! Think: Easter lunch with family, Easter egg hunts, painting Easter eggs, Easter baskets with goodies inside, Easter craft decorations, and sweet treats. It’s so much fun!
One of my favorite crafts to do this time of year is the Easter Mason Jar. It is fun, easy, festive, and inexpensive–making it the perfect Mason jar Easter craft!
It’s also a craft (like painting Easter eggs) that is extremely kid-friendly. With just a few materials needed and simple instructions, it’s a great family activity that all ages will enjoy! (What’s more, it’s also easy to change up to suit your tastes. In the tutorial for this Easter craft, we used bright blue, green, and white to decorate the Mason jar because it reminded us of spring–but you and your kids are free to use whatever colors or patterns you like! You can also use fresh flowers, fake flowers, greenery, etc. inside.)
This Mason jar craft makes a great Easter centerpiece idea, of course, but there are a number of other things you can do with it, like:
- Use it as kitchen decor
- Swap the Easter basket for this reusable, more festive, and more eco-friendly Mason jar
- Use it to store candies, cookies, or other treats in the springtime (decorative and functional!)
- Give it as a gift to loved ones
As you can see, there are so many reasons to make Mason jar Easter crafts! To continue the spirit of Easter, here are a few more Easter Mason jar ideas to celebrate:
(Mason jars aren’t just for decor, ya know! You can make some seriously yummy–and portable–treats in a Mason jar.)

MATERIALS
32 oz Mason jars
FolkArt acrylic paint: ocean view, fresh foliage, titanium white, pink balloon and sunny yellow
Foam paint brushes
Washi tape
Multiple size paint brushes
Scissors
HORIZONTAL STRIPED JAR
1. Use the washi tape to tape four stripes horizontally around the jar, pressing firmly. (The “pressing firmly” part is key here: if you don’t press the tape down hard enough, the paint will get under the tape and you won’t get a clean line.)
2. Paint each stripe rotating colors (I used blue and yellow) and let dry.
3. Peel the tape off.
4. Cut a circle out of a foam paint brush.
5. Using the foam circle as a stamp, dip it in white paint and carefully place the stamp onto the striped jar. Let dry.
VERTICALLY STRIPED JAR
1. Use the washi tape to tape stripes vertically around the jar, pressing firmly. (See the horizontal Mason jar decor tutorial above for why pressing firmly is important.)
2. Paint each stripe rotating colors (I used blue, yellow, green, and pink) and let dry.
3. Peel the tape off.
4. Cut a circle out of a foam paint brush.
5. Using the foam circle as a stamp, dip it in white paint and carefully press onto the striped jar. Let dry.
PLAID JAR
1. Paint the jar white and let dry.
2. Use the washi tape to tape stripes vertically around the jar and press firmly.
3. Paint the open stripes (I used blue) and let dry.
4. Use the washi tape to tape stripes horizontally around the jar and press firmly.
5. Paint the stripes a shade lighter than you used first (I mixed white with blue) and let dry.
6. Peel the tape off and touch up any spots.
Easy peasy, right?
