It goes without saying that Mason Jar crafts are extremely popular. Mason jars only cost about $1 each in a case of twelve and you can put nearly anything in them. Pinterest has boards dedicated to just Mason Jar crafts.
Because they are inexpensive to make and so cute, it is no surprise they’ve become so popular. I’d thought of using a blue Mason Jar but, you wouldn’t be able to see the shells. It would still look good though if you prefer a blue jar.

Our boys and I had fun collecting the sea shells on our family vacation in Marco Island, FL this winter. There are so many fun things to do there and great places to eat in Naples, FL. We can’t wait to go back next winter.
Instructions to Make the DIY Seashell Beach Mason Jar Craft:
- Pour sand into clean Mason Jar and tilt the jar to the side.
- Carefully arrange sea shells, face up, until you reach close to the mouth of the jar.
- Cut a 5″x 5″ square of fish net and lie it on top of jar mouth.
- Tie the string around the jar mouth, securing the net.
- Loop string through sea shell hole and around the starfish by tying the starfish with the remaining string.
