10 More Favorite Crafts with Jars

It is time once again for our 10 favorite crafts with  jars series.  If you missed the first installment, be sure to catch it here.  Today we have another guest who is sharing her favorite Crafts with Jars.  Take it away Cyn!



Hey there! I'm Cyn from Creative Cynchronicity and Gagen Girls. I live in London, Ontario Canada (about halfway between Toronto and Detroit) with my crazy-and-cuddly-German-Shepherd-who-thinks-she's-a-lap-dog. I have one child, a beautiful daughter who's getting married this spring. I'm a former classroom teacher - now blogger and social media manager and my days are generally spent either glued to a computer screen or glued (sometimes literally) to my crafting table.  photo picture1.jpg When Angie invited me to share 10 Favorite Crafts with Jars with you, I thought "Easy peasy! I adore jar crafts and am even using some for my daughter's wedding." Actually, it's not as easy as I thought it would be because I had an awful time narrowing them down to just 10! I've always loved jars of all sorts from way back when I was a little girl and saw my mom and my grandmothers using them for canning, for making sewing kits and button jars out of, for organizing things around the house, as vases for flowers fresh from the garden. Now that there's been such a resurgence in their popularity and all these fabulous jar crafts are popping up, well it makes me just want to swoon. Here are 10 of my favorites:

 Thanks Angie for letting me share some of my favorite jar crafts today!
Many thanks Cyn for joining us today!  Y'all be sure to visit Cyn and check out all of her awesomeness as well.
