If you?re a Pinterest fan and keen on DIY, you?ve probably stumbled upon numerous pictures of Mason jars. In fact, Pinterest is so chock full of awesome ideas, that I decided to make a collection of my favorite ones.
I nailed some, while in others I failed hilariously. Anyway, here?s the list:
- DIY Oil Lamp
You can perfectly finish the decoration with a rusty canteen with flowers. Old canteens seem to be perfect to hold a small bouquet of flowers!

Eventually, I?d like to make some conclusions.
- Being a DIY maniac myself, I tried some of the listed crafts. Some of them look hard and complicated to complete, but are actually easy to make.
- Others, look easy as a child?s play, but can end into an awful mess. For instance, I had to turn to pros for the hanging flower shelf project. I?m still not sure what went wrong with the positioning.
- Regardless of the failed attempts, I?ll continue with the list, because it was really entertaining!
