Many who know me on my blog, know that I love to craft with mason jars for all sorts of occasions. I have already shared my fair share of mason jar creations. Recently, I showcased this one that also included duck tape.
This time out, I couldn’t resist one last St. Patrick’s Day themed craft using a mason jar. Paint is front and center for this craft. So, kids can help out with this one. But you may opt to do the paint portion yourself. And then have the kids jump in to help with the rest of this DIY craft.
Either way, this is one for all to enjoy crafting.

Leprechaun Mason Jar Craft for St. Patrick’s Day
Materials for Leprechaun Mason Jar Craft for St. Patrick’s Day:
- Small canning jar with lid
- Green paint
- Small round St. Patrick’s Day sticker
- Black glitter cardstock
- Gold glitter cardstock
- Green ribbon
- Scissors
- Hot glue gun
- Flowers or other decorations
Instructions for Leprechaun Mason Jar Craft for St. Patrick’s Day:
- Begin by pouring some green paint into a small canning jar.
- Place the lid on the jar and shake it until the entire inside of the jar is coated in paint.
- Pour the excess paint out into a trash can or other container.
- Remove the lid and let the jar sit to dry overnight.
- Cut a thin strip from the black glitter cardstock.
- Use a hot glue gun to attach the black strip of cardstock to the bottom of the painted jar.
- Cut out a small square from the gold glitter cardstock. Make it slightly wider than the black strip that you glued onto your jar, and cut a smaller square out of the middle of it.
- Glue the gold glitter square shape onto the center of the black glitter strip on your jar.
- Cut a piece of green ribbon. Fold in one side of the ribbon to the center and secure it with glue. Fold the other side into the center and secure it with glue as well, so that it forms a bow shape.
- Cut a small rectangle of ribbon, and wrap it around the middle of your bow shape.
- Secure it with glue to form a mini bow tie.
- Glue the mini bow tie to the top of your jar centered above the gold square shape you just glued on.
- Attach a St. Patrick’s Day round sticker to the front of your painted jar between the bow tie and the gold glitter square buckle shape.
- Fill your painted jar with St. Patrick’s Day flowers or other decorations.

We have about 200 jars. What we don’t have is the time or your creativity. 🙁

Janine,
Your St. Patrick’s Day mason jar is simply adorable. I could see making a bunch of these jars and placing them in a row down the center of my kitchen table. It is a 6 foot table. Wouldn’t that be adorable!
Thanks for sharing this cute idea,
Diane
Janine says
Omg, Diane I love that idea and that truly sounds absolutely perfect to me 🙂

Janine says
Aw, thanks and mason jar crafts are just so fun to do 😉

I hope you had a *fabulous* St. Patty’s Day! I know it’s a big celebration where you are. I just KNOW! haha. 🍀🍀🍀 And do you come up with these designs yourself? Because I’m thoroughly impressed! You know no creative bounds. I saw your other beautiful blog posts, too – getting ready for Easter – but this caught my eye because of your gorgeous photos and St. Patty’s day fun! I almost forgot to wear green, but I did manage to wear some before going out. Hehe.
Sending you hugs and wishes for a *wonderful* week! xox
