Mason Jar Tissue Holder DIY!

Do you have extra mason jars at home? If so, there are tons of crafts you can make with them! I recently found this Mason Jar Tissue Holder DIY project and was inspired. I plan on making some of these tissue holders for my home, because I have tons of unused mason jars. Plus, these tissue holders look so much nicer than the paper ones. Don’t you agree? If you’d like to make this project as well, be sure to have the following supplies ready:

• Mason jar
• Mason jar lid
• Scissors
• X-acto knife
• Scrapbook paper
• Glue stick
• Hammered bronze Rust-Oleum spray paint
• Craft Paint
• Paint brush
• Stick on craft embellishments
• Tissue

PS: If you do not have any mason jars at home, head to your local thrift store and pay next to nothing for them!
