10 Ways to Craft with Mason Jars

Alex Duran

So you've just gotten a new little... congrats! The next thing you'll need are a basket of crafts to present her with when she finds out that you're her big. I've always been a big fan of cheap-to-make, useful crafts, so I've compiled a list of 10 awesome things to do with mason jars, Something Greek-style!

Reasons your little loves you mason jar #sorority #crafts #frat #diy

This is a little hard to see, but this glittery mason jar says "reasons your little loves you." You can make one that says "reasons your big loves you" and fill it with little pieces of paper with all the reasons your little is perfect.

Big/Little Sorority DATE ideas (when you don't see each other for a while and have some catching up to do).

Paint and glitter a mason jar for you and your little, and you'll get a gift for yourself too!

Theta inspired mason jar mug! dip Q-tips in acrylic paint to make the dots, then put the finished product in a cold oven for 30 mins. while it's preheating to 350 degrees (this seals the paint). substitute your own sorority colors for an easy and inexpensive craft :)

One of my favorite ways to decorate crafts has always been polka dots in my sorority's colors. Super easy, but super cute.

Another favorite activity of mine-- besides crafting, of course-- is painting my nails. Decorate a mason jar and stuff it with cotton balls, a nail file, nail polish, and remover.
