1. Mason Jar Candle Holders with Fall Foliage
Transform simple mason jars into glowing candle holders by lining them with real or faux fall leaves. Use decoupage glue to attach leaves to the outside of the jar, then insert a votive or tealight candle inside. As the candle flickers, the light will shine through the leaves, creating a cozy, autumnal glow perfect for any room.
2. Pumpkin Spice Sugar Scrub Jars
Mason jars are the perfect containers for DIY beauty projects, and a pumpkin spice sugar scrub is a great seasonal gift or indulgence for yourself. Combine sugar, coconut oil, and a few drops of pumpkin spice essential oil in a mason jar for a scrub that smells like fall.
Add a rustic tag and some twine, and you've got a great gift for friends or a spa-like treat for your bathroom.
3. Fall-Themed Centerpiece with Flowers and Wheat
For an easy yet beautiful centerpiece, fill mason jars with seasonal blooms like sunflowers, mums, or dahlias, and add sprigs of wheat or dried grasses for a harvest-inspired look. Tie some burlap or twine around the neck of each jar for an extra rustic touch.
Arrange a few jars together on a tray or wooden plank for a farmhouse-style table centerpiece.
4. Painted Mason Jars in Fall Colors
Give your mason jars a seasonal makeover with a coat of paint. Use warm fall colors like burnt orange, mustard yellow, or deep burgundy to paint the outside of the jars. After the paint dries, lightly sand the jars to give them a distressed, rustic look. Or, you can buy them ready painted, like the ones from Amazon pictured above.
These painted mason jars can be used for holding flowers, candles, or even utensils during a fall gathering. You can arrange them on mantels, shelves, or dining tables to bring a pop of autumn color to your decor.
5. Mason Jar Luminaries with Burlap and Lace
Create soft, glowing mason jar luminaries by wrapping jars with a combination of burlap and lace. Attach the fabric using hot glue, and insert battery-operated fairy lights or flameless candles inside. The burlap adds a warm, rustic feel, while the lace gives it an elegant touch—perfect for fall evenings.

6. Harvest Mason Jar Candy Jars
Fill mason jars with seasonal treats like candy corn, caramel candies, or mini pumpkins for a festive display. Tie a fall-themed ribbon or twine around the lid, and add a tag with a cute message like "Harvest Treats" or "Autumn Sweets." These jars are perfect for setting out on your coffee table or gifting to friends and family.
7. Mason Jar Autumn Potpourri
Fill your home with the aromas of the season by creating mason jar autumn potpourri. Mix dried orange slices, cinnamon sticks, cloves, star anise, and pine cones, and place them in a mason jar for a visually appealing and fragrant display. You can also add a few drops of essential oils like cedarwood, cinnamon, or vanilla to enhance the scent.
Place the jar on your coffee table or shelf, or give it as a gift. You can leave the jar open for a slow release of fragrance, or cover it with a breathable lid (like burlap) to infuse your space with fall’s natural scents.
8. Mason Jar Herb Candles
Combine fall scents and greenery by making herb-scented candles in mason jars. Use soy or beeswax and infuse the candles with scents like cinnamon, cloves, or rosemary. Add small sprigs of dried herbs around the wax for decoration. When lit, these candles will fill your home with the comforting aromas of fall.
Or, create floating candles, like those pictured above.
9. Mason Jar Soup Mix Gifts
For a fun and practical fall gift, layer the dry ingredients for a hearty soup in a mason jar. Lentils, dried beans, spices, and herbs can be beautifully arranged in layers to create a visually appealing jar.
Attach a small recipe card with instructions on how to prepare the soup, and wrap the jar with autumn-themed fabric or burlap for a cozy, homemade touch.
10. Leaf Stenciled Mason Jars
Using fall leaf stencils and acrylic paint, you can create beautiful, nature-inspired designs on your mason jars. Paint the leaves in vibrant fall colors, like red, orange, and yellow, or go for a more muted, minimalist look with white or gold paint. Once dry, these jars can be used to hold fall foliage, candles, or other seasonal decorations.
Conclusion
Mason jars are an easy, affordable way to bring the warmth of fall into your home. Whether you're crafting decor for yourself or creating handmade gifts for friends and family, these mason jar projects will help you capture the spirit of the season in a fun and creative way. Happy decorating!
