Y’all know how I love Pinterest, right? I mean, every time I start a new board, you’re the first to know about it!

A few months ago I started Pinning Mason Jars. How to decorate them. What to do with them. Things to put in them. I’m in Mason Jar Nirvana!

My first post was my Feta Tomato Spinach Salad in a Jar. Remember this lovely, delectable delight?
The Finished Product

Thanks to Pinterest and other Blogs I follow, I found some delightful easy crafts. This weekend I tried my hand at making my own kind of kitchen air freshener.

In less than five minutes from start to finish, this craft was completed.

First, gather the necessary materials: Mason Jar, scrapbook paper (or any decorative paper), pen, scissors, small nail, and soft mat/cloth.

On a flat surface, trace around the lid. It’s okay to keep the paper face up so you can see where you’re placing your circle.

Next, cut the circle out. It doesn’t have to be perfect. The edges will be hidden under the rim.

Put your scrapbook circle on the soft mat and using the small nail, carefully punch holes through the paper. Get creative, make designs! Punch enough holes to allow air flow. If necessary, use a bigger nail.

Fill your jar with your favorite aromatic blend, cover with paper and rim.

My kitchen now smells like fresh ground coffee even when the Keurig isn’t brewing!

Experiment with your favorite fragrances: fresh-cut herbs. Potpourri. Leftover candle wax. Essential oils. Whatever scent makes you smile… smell and smell again.

How sweet is that?
