Christmas comes with so many lovely traditions. There's decorating the house inside and out, making holiday cookies, putting up that mischievous Elf on the Shelf, and even watching Yuletide movies. And then there's Christmas crafting with Mason jars, a seasonal pleasure that's becoming more popular with every passing year. After all, whether or not you're a big canner, chances are you have at least a few these handy glass canisters stashed somewhere in your home. You might have even used them before in projects for Halloween, Valentine's Day, Easter or the Fourth of July. But the truth of the matter is, until you've utilized Mason jars for Christmas DIY goodies, you haven't used them to their full potential.

In fact, Christmas might be the ultimate holiday for Mason jar crafts, because you can fill them with so many great presents, including gift cards, spa products and hot chocolate fixings. Or, use them to make seasonal decorations like ornaments, candles and vases. The sky's the limit when working with Mason jars, which are not only versatile but inexpensive as well. Can't wait to get started but aren't sure how to get started? Read on for dozens of the best Christmas Mason jar craft ideas.
