In this age of eco-friendliness and shoestring budgets, everyone wants to find ways to make the most

out of what they have on hand. Go green with this collection of seasonal projects that use glass jars.

These Mason jar crafts will teach you how to transform recycling bin staples into fabulous pieces of

home décor, gift wrap, and so much more.
