DIY centerpieces using mason jars can be created by following these steps:

1. Paint the jars in festive colors or leave them clear for a rustic look.
2. Fill the jars with Epsom salt or artificial snow and nestle a pillar candle inside.
3. Tie ribbons or twine around the jar rims and add decorative elements like pine sprigs, cinnamon sticks, or small ornaments ¹.
4. Alternatively, use stencil paper and white paint or varnish to create vintage-looking mason jars. Put flowers or silk leaves inside the jars to complete the centerpiece ².
