Mason Jar Football Centerpieces

Crafting is so much fun, isn’t it? I love just about any excuse to DIY–and if you’re anything like me, you do to!

Since it’s football season–and you might be hosting a party or two–I have the perfect craft for you: a Mason jar football centerpiece!

Mason jar crafts are some of my favorite types of crafts to make! They’re simple, fun, and practical! Who doesn’t love a craft that’s beautiful and functional? (I mean, there are only so many tchotchkes you can have before you run out of space! That’s why I love practical decor.)

This centerpiece is inexpensive, easy to make, and sure to make an impression on your table! It also makes a great gift for your football-crazy friends and family! Not to mention–this is one Mason jar craft idea that you can customize!

Not a fan of football? You can easily tweak the design to suit basketball, baseball, or another sport you love! If you’re really artistically inclined, you can also add the names of your favorite players, team logos, etc.
