Mason jars are everywhere; they have taken over the crafting world and are often a staple at DIY-inspired weddings. Inside Mason Jar Madness by Ana Araujo, you will find tons of cute ideas to transform a simple mason jar into a work of art that's perfect for gifts, parties, storage, and more. 

You will be amazed at how many different options there are when it comes to crafting with mason jars. Mason Jar Madness is full of ideas that incorporate basic skills like stenciling, decoupage, stitching, and painting. Whether you get your jars from the craft store or a local flea market, one thing is for sure: you are one step closer to creating a truly unique craft.

Did you know there are nine different mason jar sizes? There's the regular mouth jar, the wide mouth jar, quilted jelly jars, mini milk bottles, and mug jars. With so many sizes and styles, the possibilities are endless! As you work your way through Mason Jar Madness, you'll pick up tips for spray painting inside jars as well as using chalk finish paint and chalkboard paint to decorate the outside of each jar.

If you need some inspiration, the Step by Step Projects chapter is where you will find full project tutorials. With a useful reference section at the back, you can complete these crafts in no time. Although the projects inside Mason Jar Madness can be used for practically any occasion, the ones that work exceptionally well for wedding events include the Succulent Vignette (pg. 40) and the Love Note Glitter Vases (pg. 42). Once you're ready to expand your family, the Doggie Treat Jar (pg. 32) is a super cute idea, and I also love the Pocket Change Jar (pg. 34), which can be especially helpful when you're trying to save up to buy that home!
