"A neat book.... I love all of the ideas included in DIY Mason Jars: 35 Creative Crafts & Projects for the Classic Container. If you're staring at a box or two of Mason jars or want some new ideas for things to do with Mason jars, I definitely recommend you pick up a copy." - Confessions of an Overworked Mom

"Each tutorial has a material list along with clear step-by-step instructions. Best of all there wasn't a single craft that I didn't have supplies on hand to make! The crafts are easy to make, easy to follow - my kind of book!" - Sewing and Crafting with Sarah

"Something tells me then the Ball Brothers began to manufacture the Mason jar design in 1886, they did not have a vision for the wondrous projects employed in DIY Mason Jars. DIY Mason Jars is pure fun. With projects for the kitchen, around the home, 'fun and festivities' and useful jars, there is something for everyone; an endless trove of original creations." - Boulder Locavore
