We love taking the time to craft and create things. Being able to sell the things we make can also be extremely gratifying. Mason jar crafts and projects continue to be extremely popular. Whether it’s for a craft sale, swap meet, charity auction, or your small business, we’ve collected over two dozen mason jar crafts to sell.

With a variety of different sizes and shapes mason jars or similar glass canning jars are very trendy and popular in crafting. Most likely because they are so easy to come by – many of us have these left over from items we eat. So rather than putting them into the recycling bin they make wonderful canvases to express creativity.

From these lovely beachy painted bathroom storage canisters, Poinsettia topped gift jars, snowmen jars, and even pretty pumpkin jars we’ve created a number of different projects with mason jars.

What Types of Mason Jar Crafts to Make and Sell?

To get inspiration and truly see what buyers are looking for, we like to do some research on Etsy. Just search “mason jar” and see what comes up.

Take note of the colors of the products, the uses for them, and even how people style the pictures. Don’t copy though! You can note that people offer personalization and even customization in colors, quantities and styles.

Tips for Selling Mason Jar Crafts

  • Make your product look prefessional: be sure to create a product label, and package your product nicely and securely so that it doesn’t break.
  • If selling online (or even in person) consider collecting email addresses to be able to send customers follow-ups and let them know about new sales.
  • Take advantage of occasions when people are looking for gift ideas for others including co-workers, neighbours, teachers. Christmas, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, wedding showers, Easter are all great times to consider mason jar gifts.
