1. Use Mason Jars to Hold your Thanksgiving Gift

Choose some beautiful strips of fabric and ribbon or twine and you can create a beautiful vessel to hold your gift in no time. If you feel more creative, paint the clean Mason jar with seasonal colored chalk paint and add a cute Thanksgiving label that you can either print out or create yourself.  Fill the jar with small presents, like decorative acorns, mini pumpkins or edible gifts, like candy corn or anything homemade that tastes like Thanksgiving!

2. Use Mason Jars for cute Thanksgiving decoration

Mason jars are ideal to get creative with Thanksgiving decoration. You can paint them, dress them up or just fill them up and you will have wonderful pieces to decorate your home. Use strips of burlaps and letters to spell a meaningful word. Paint them to make cute scarecrows or just to make colorful vases to hold seasonal flowers. Another great idea is to fill them with layers of seasonal gifts of nature, like green lentils, read beans and yellow corn or just acorns or candy corn. These will make great glasses to hold your tableware or just add a small candle or electrical tea light and you will have the perfect way to add some ambiance to your Thanksgiving home.
