Christmas Mason Jar Crafts for Kids:
Supplies Needed:
- Jars (get them from a craft store or use baby food jars)
- Glitter-Red, white and brown
- Googly eyes
- Red pom pom
- Black ribbon
- Silver foam sheet
- Black beads
- Orange paper
- Decoupage
- Hot Glue
- Brown pipe cleaner
Instructions:
Start out by covering your jar with a layer of decoupage. Pour glitter all over your jar, fully covering it. Set aside to dry. The directions will then vary just a little for each mason jar craft.
Santa Belt Mason Jar Craft for Kids:
Once your red glitter is dry, wrap a piece of black ribbon around the jar and hot glue it in place. Cut a square slightly larger than your ribbon and cut out the center of the square to make a belt buckle. Hot glue that in place and then fill it up with candy!
Snowman Mason Jar Craft:
Cover your jar with white glitter. Glue two small googly eyes on and then cut a small carrot nose from your orange paper and glue that in place as well. Grab your small black beads and glue them to create a smile:
Reindeer Mason Jar:
Cover in brown glitter. Hot glue two googly eyes in place and add your pom-pom nose. Cut one brown pipe cleaner in half. Snip off another 1-2 inches and wrap them around the other piece to shape it into an antler. Hot glue this to the lid and you are set!
Aren’t they cute?! Love these little mason jar crafts for kids and they are perfect for Christmas!

Are these washable?
I don’t think they would hold up very well.
how much time would they take to dry.
Probably about 20 minutes?
It took me 2 hours. I wanted to make sure
Glitter was completely dry. Could be done in less time. I really time to do all crafts. I’m an anal a perfectionist.
