Mosaic Mason Jar Vase Craft Idea For Kids To Make
Yesterday on Glued To My Crafts I shared a cute Mother’s Day gift idea in-cooperating little handprints. {If you missed it – be sure to check it out!} Today’s kid craft idea is a little more hands on for children and makes for a great gift. It’s also not just for kids either!
Recently Lil Man and I took a simple mason jar and turned it into a beautiful piece. It was really simple and something we could do together. He got to stick the tissue paper down, while I got to handle the glue. Teamwork at it’s finest.
If you are still on the fence on what to get the special ladies in your life this coming Mother’s day holiday – may I suggest you check out this tutorial? Who wouldn’t love getting a one-of-a-kind vase? Maybe the receiver would love beautiful flowers in it too 😉
Find all the details for this simple craft idea below! Happy crafting, my friends! Don’t forget to share pictures of your child’s finished vase creations with us on our Facebook page to admire! #gluedtomycrafts

- To finish it off – cover it all with another layer of Mod Podge on top of the tissue paper to seal it all in.
- If desired {and the glue is still wet} add a sprinkle or two of loose craft glitter on top of your pattern design.

- For added flair, tie some twine or ribbon around the jar like gift packaging.
