Infos

Learn how to make over fifty Mason jar projects, including luminaries, planters, and upcycled art, with this amazing guide. Mason Jar Nation begins by exploring the Mason jar's impact on America since its 1858 patent. Prior to the jar's invention, settlers had no reliable and safe way to store food for the winter, which required them to travel great lengths in difficult conditions and obtain expensive canned goods in order to survive. With its hermetically sealable two-piece lid and thick glass sides, the Mason jar changed the way mid-nineteenth century Americans fed their families. Although the popularity of the jars ebbed significantly from the 1950s until the turn of the century, interest in them has exploded in the past few years. Ball, the biggest brand name in Mason jars today, has seen its sales double since 2001. Younger generations, including Millennials, have adopted the iconic jars as emblems of a more sustainable time. The humble Mason jar has been "e;discovered"e; as a versatile and beautiful material for creating craft items such as chandeliers, luminaries, planters, containers, and upcycled art. The second half of Mason Jar Nation features over fifty of these adaptations, shown with clear photography, all designed and photographed by author JoAnn Moser, the "e;DIY Maven."e; Readers who appreciate American cultural history, making fun and affordable crafts, and Mason jars themselves will love this book.
