Simple Holiday & Party Decor

Mason Jars

I’ve shared these jars many times before, but they’re worth repeating. I recently searched Pinterest for “Christmas” and found my simple Epsom salt mason jars right on the front page. These jars have been repinned thousands of times. They aren’t a new trend — I’ve been making them for years, even before I started blogging.

Even though this idea is familiar, it’s popular because it’s so easy and effective. These mason jars make a perfect decoration for holidays and parties. They’re one of the simplest and most versatile decor ideas you can use, and they really do add something special.

I use them all the time, especially on porches and along walkways during gatherings. They lend a warm, magical glow to any event and make decorating nearly effortless. Having several on hand saves time and gives any space an instant festive touch.

It’s encouraging to see these jars appreciated year after year. If you enjoy simple, doable crafts and decorations, this is a project for you. Because the idea is so easy and dependable, I revisit it often and adapt it for different seasons.

Here’s a more dressed-up holiday version I made previously. The core idea stays the same, but small additions can change the look completely. I like to reuse what works — when you find a simple go-to, stick with it and make it your own.

You don’t even need a step-by-step tutorial for this project. If you want to fancy the jar, try wrapping jute or ribbon around the mouth, or attach jingle bells, decorative brads, or other small accents.

If you haven’t tried Epsom salt mason jar candles yet, pick up a few jars and a bag of Epsom salt on your next grocery run. When you’re hosting a party or decorating for the holidays, these jars are quick to assemble and instantly make your space look cozy and festive.
