Summary:
"Learn how to make more than
50
Mason
jar
projects, including luminaries, planters, and upcycled art, in this eagerly anticipated book for DIYers!
Mason
Jar
Nation
begins by exploring the
Mason
jar
's impact on
America
since its 1858 patent. Prior to the
jar
's invention, settlers had no reliable and safe way to store food for the winter, which required
them
to travel great lengths in difficult conditions and obtain expensive canned goods in order to survive. With its hermetically sealable two-piece lid and thick glass sides, the
Mason
jar
changed
the way mid-nineteenth century Americans fed their families. Although the popularity of the
jars
ebbed significantly from the 1950s until the turn of the century, interest in
them
has exploded in the past few years. Ball, the biggest brand name in
Mason
jars
today
, has seen its sales double since 2001. Younger generations, including Millenials, have adopted the iconic
jars
as emblems of a more sustainable time. The humble
Mason
jar
has been "discovered" as a versatile and beautiful material for creating craft items such as chandeliers, luminaries, planters, containers, and upcycled art. The second half of
Mason
Jar
Nation
features over
50
of these adaptations, shown with clear photography, all designed and photographed by author JoAnn Moser, the "DIY Maven." Readers who appreciate American cultural history, making fun and affordable crafts, and
Mason
jars
themselves will love this new book and its tall, narrow shape that's based on the proportions of the classic
Mason
