If you’re a crafting maniac like me, you’re always looking for new projects to take up and add a little something more to your home decor. There’s always that sense of fulfillment from building something yourself rather than just buying another decor piece. One of the best feelings when you see the finished product!

Mason jars are among the most popular DIY items by far. And no wonder – they come in many sizes and designs, you can always find one that suits your project best. Projects with them tend to also be relatively easy, they take no more than a few hours to complete.

There’s one of these on Etsy for $75 and what you save by making this yourself is phenomenal, plus it’s so easy to do! There are many ways you can paint a mason jar but this chalkboard paint distressed look makes really awesome vases or storage containers and this great looking lamp this gal makes. That chic rustic look of a distressed mason jar is really the thing and when you turn it into a lamp it adds some incredible charm to your home decor!

Watch how Kelly Barlow makes this fabulous lamp in her step by step tutorial so you can make one for your home! It’s easy peasy!

Since I lover experiments, I’ve alwaysnloved to create, paint, as well as cook and style food. I feel in love with DIY as soon as I discovered it and could not have been more excited when I learned I could share projects with people around the world. Taking photos is a passion of mine, as is design and painting with oils. I love holidays and celebrations, crafting cute little gifts and serving up at least one new recipe I am excited about.
