I pretty much love anything that involves candy, especially chocolate and there are many craft ideas in this collection that use chocolate candies and many that you make yourself. There are even cookies in a jar and cupcakes that you bake right there in your mason jar. So many ideas, like these 30 mason jar organizers. You can literally use mason jars for anything!

Whether you need a centerpiece for your Easter dinner table, or something to brighten up the console table, there is surely something in here that you will want to make. There are a few painted jar vases and but if you want to collect decorating projects check out our 80 Easter decorating projects. So whatever decorating or gift giving needs you have to fill, there is definitely a craft in this collection that will fit the bill. Plus, all of these projects are so very easy. You have plenty of time to make them all before Easter.

You know how much I love using mason jars for everything. They’re so very versatile and can be reused over and over again. If you’ve been wondering about how you can repurpose mason jars for Easter decorating – wonder no more. I’ve found the most amazing collection of DIY mason jar Easter crafts and I’m sure you’re going to love them all!

1. Bird’s Nest Cupcakes

Bird’s Nest CupcakesThese little bird’s nest cupcakes are perfectly sized in mason jars and so delicious. They contain white cake, lemon curd, apricot and pineapple preserves and a delicious cream cheese topping with toasted coconut. They’re perfect for Easter Dinner desserts or anytime you want something light and yummy. They’re also the perfect way to use up some of those mason jars you’ve got on hand – the smaller jelly sized jars, that is.

2. Easy Mason Jar Spring Centerpiece

Easy Mason Jar Spring CenterpieceI love using mason jars as vases – did I mention that already? Anyway, take some paper doilies and twine to dress up those mason jars and then just add some bright and colorful daffodils or tulips and you have the perfect spring centerpiece. These are so very easy and you could use jars in whatever size you have available. I love the idea of using the larger jars for these. Just wrap the twine around the doily to keep it in place and you’re all done.

3. Easter Bunny Jar Treat

Easter Bunny Jar TreatI love this bunny jar idea as a gift for a favorite teacher. You just take a mason jar, fill with mini marshmallows or whatever Easter candy you want, add some rabbit ears and you have the perfect treat gift. You can find bunny ears headbands at most Dollar Tree stores right now for $1 each. Just cut away the headband part and you’ve got the ears which you can glue onto the jar lid. Tie up with some pretty ribbon or tulle and you’re all set.

4. Bunny Munch Jars

Bunny Munch JarsThese little bunny munch jars are also really cute and filled with yummy snacks. The bunny munch is made of white chocolate popcorn or kettle corn and mini marshmallows. Once you have your munch ready, decorate your jars with this cute bunny printable and add some ribbon or other decorations. These would make wonderful gifts for teachers, hostesses, or anyone that you need a little treat for.

5. Carrot Inspired Mason Jar Décor

Carrot Inspired Mason Jar DécorThese adorable carrot inspired mason jars are the easiest way for you to use those mason jars in décor, and you can keep these out all spring and even into summer. Just paint your mason jar orange and paint the lid green. It’s so easy and makes such a wonderful jar for anything. Remove the center ring of the lid and use it as a vase or use it to store your Easter candy. Whatever you do with it, it’s going to be a beautiful addition to your Easter decorating.

6. Carrot Mason Jar Centerpiece

Carrot Mason Jar CenterpieceThis is such a beautiful centerpiece and such a simple idea. Just fill about six different mason jars with carrots and add some lovely spring flowers like daffodils and tulips. Then put them all in a wire crate. What a gorgeous display for your Easter dinner table! I love the simplicity of this and how just a few steps and a few minutes give you the perfect spring decoration.

7. DIY Bunny Jars

DIY Bunny JarsThis is another great take on a DIY Easter Bunny jar made with a mason jar and just a few other supplies. You’ll paint the jar white, leaving a clear hole somewhere toward the bottom so that you can see the candies inside. The ears can be made with felt and the tail is just a huge cotton ball or a pompom, which is really easy to make. Fill with jelly beans or robin eggs for a really colorful look and tie wire around the lid for the “whiskers”.

8. Spring Mason Jar Vase

Spring Mason Jar VaseI use mason jars for vases all the time. I love the entire look of a mason jar, whether it’s decorated or plain. These DIY spring vases are made from mason jars that you decorate with floral fabric and a bit of Mod Podge. They’re perfect for displaying those spring flowers and even giving as gifts. Or, decorate the lids, too and use these to store your Easter candies. If you don’t have fabric on hand, you could also use decorative washi tape or even scrapbook paper to create the designs.

9. Easter Bunny Jar Cupcakes

Easter Bunny Jar CupcakesFor these adorable little cupcakes, you’ll need those smaller mason jars – the jelly sized ones. You just bake your cupcakes in the jars – this is a great way to keep them moist – and then when they’re cool, decorate with homemade or store bought icing. Add sprinkles and even a tiny little chocolate bunny to the top for decoration. These would make the perfect Easter dinner dessert cupcakes, and they’re perfect for little ones.

10. Easter Bunny Granola

Easter Bunny GranolaThis yummy granola can be made quickly and when you store it in this bunny mason jar, it’s the perfect companion for Easter breakfast. To decorate the jar, you’ll need googly eyes, a pink pompom for the nose, something for the whiskers and a few other supplies. The granola has oats, chocolate chips, and bunny shaped marshmallows, among other ingredients. This is a great way to get kids to enjoy a snack that’s healthier than chips or plain candy.

11. Easter Drinking Jars

Easter Drinking JarsDrinking from mason jars is a country thing. Here in the south, half of our drinking glasses are mason jars. This is why I love these Easter drinking jars made with mason jars. They have straws and tops so they’re perfect for younger ones and great drinking glasses if you are planning an Easter party. You use cupcake liners for the tops and just stick a straw in. Well, there are a few more steps, but you get the idea.

12. Easter M&M Cookie Jar Mix

Easter M&M Cookie Jar MixHave you ever done cookies in a jar? I love the thought of giving these as gifts and while you normally see them around Christmas, they’re so great you should be doing them all year long. Enter this colorful Easter M&M cookie jar mix. It’s cookies in a jar with an Easter twist. Fill the mason jar with your cookie mix and then add pastel colored M&Ms to the top and tie up the lid with a colorful ribbon or some twine.

13. Mason Jar Label Printables

Be creative and add some bunny designs to the front or just make your planters different pastel colors.
