If you've ever visited The Snug, you know we're drunk in love with mason jars. They're the most versatile, DIY-able item, ever and we've taken full advantage of them on our Mason Jars Forever Channel. This pumpkin mason jar tutorial has been on our popular page since Labor Day, so we think it's worth checking out for your holiday decor. It can actually last you through thanksgiving if you keep the colors neutral.
