Wow it amazes me how many different crafts you can do with mason jars and they keep getting better. These gold tipped mason jar vases can go from a table for a barbaque on deck to a spring or summer outdoor wedding. Don't want gold than choose a color to match your decor. The best part about it is you can make it with real or fake flowers.

This is so eye-catching. I know the perfect places to showcase this mason jar piece. Nobody Will guess that they're dollar store picks. Sometimes you don't need to break the bank to have a stylishly decorated home.

I am so glad I found this DIY craft, because my girlfriend is getting married in mid-July and her colors are gold and red. I have been bugging her and bugging her about what I can help her with- these would be dirt cheap and would create a great impact on the tables.

Fun idea and article. I remember rows of Mason jars lined up on shelves under our basement stairs as a kid with the latest crop preserved. Later, I remember when drinks were first served in a jar! Now my son makes candles in them... They are so sturdy and versatile. I was thinking of these as tinted at the top, since gold tipped, but they are actually gold based, s and are lovely! I could see gluing on some shells or rhinestones for added bling! So pretty, and the glue used is the best too.

What a great idea. It's easy, quick and not that expensive. I read thru the instructions and I am going to try it. But instead of gold I want to do them In silver. I have much more things in the rooms I will use them in that will go better with silver including a silver chandelier over the table.thank you for sharing a great idea.
