Day 3 of the Holiday Craft Party is all about mason jars! I saw this mason jar card holder a few months ago and it gave me the idea to create a Christmas mason jar photo frame. I made this mason jar photo frame for my husband to display in his cube at work. Be sure to enter the giveaway for Michaels and Minted.com gift cards at the end of this post.
Supplies
- links in the supplies are affiliate links
- wide mouth quart sized Kerr mason jar
- 3.5 x 5.5 inch piece of glittery gold card stock
- 3 x 5 inch photo
- ATG adhesive (Advanced Tape Glider)
- Merry Christmas washi tape
- 5 cotton balls
- jingle bells (20 mm and 32 mm)
- scissors
Instructions
Use adhesive to adhere the photo to the card stock. I recommend the ATG adhesive for this because it holds well with glitter card stock.
Place 3 jingle bells on the bottom of the photo. The photo will go through the slits on the top of the jingle bells. The jingle bells will help hold the photo in place and prevent the other jingle bells from falling behind the photo. Place the photo inside the mason jar.
Wrap the Merry Christmas washi tape around the outside of the jar lid. This washi tape was the perfect size.
Use cotton balls to make “snow.” Stretch 5 cotton balls and place them in the mason jar lid.
Add a few jingle bells to the “snow.” This will help the mason jar photo frame look festive.
Now screw the lid onto the mason jar with the jar upside down. Make sure all the jingle bells are in front of the photo. This Christmas mason jar photo frame is now ready to proudly display.

This is super cute and full of memory to remember, Kelly! Thanks for the tutorial!
I love that you used the bells to hold the photo up! Too cute!
I love how this looks quite complicated but it’s actually pretty simple to make. The addition of the Merry Christmas washi tape along the bottom is just perfect….and your kids are too adorable!
This is a great idea, Kelly! I think the faux snow cotton balls and jingle bells add the perfect, festive touch!
Such a fun idea, Kelly! I definitely want to get my hands on a roll of that Merry Christmas Washi Tape. And your little kiddos are so cute! What a great way to frame their photo. :0)
