• Mason Jar. The mason jar is the most important part of this craft. You cannot complete the craft without it.

You may already have most or all of these supplies at home, especially if you enjoy completing crafts alone or with loved ones.

What to Do With Your Reindeer Mason Jars

After you complete the Reindeer Mason Jar Craft, you can wait for the jars to dry before using them for different purposes. Some people like to use them for decorative purposes inside the home during the holiday season.

While that is an option, you can also use these jars as decorative gifts for loved ones. Fill the jars with some of your favorite candies, such as chocolate kisses or peppermints, and give them out to those who mean the most to you during the holiday season.
