This Mason Jar Planter Box is a quick and simple build for power tool beginners. You only need to make simple, straight cuts. Yea, again! I used my miter saw for this project, but you can use a jigsaw or circular saw too. You can cut, assemble, patch, sand, and stain 1 in less than 2 hours. AND part of that time is just waiting for the hole filler and stain to dry. Give it a couple more hours and you’ll be ready to apply a coat of poly too.

These planter boxes are a versatile home decor All-Star. You can use it as a dining table centerpiece, vanity organizer, window planter, mantle decor, veggie or fruit storage, picnic caddy, craft supply box, and much much more. They also make great gifts your friends and family will find a dozen uses for too.

BUT what makes this DIY project really awesome is it’s so easy to make a lot of these at once. You can make 6 to 12 of them in about 2 hours. So, if you need a bunch of gifts for Christmas or as shower prizes, here you go. Having some friends over for a craft party? Teens and adults will love decorating these. Want a gorgeous wedding centerpiece for less than $15? This is it. Looking for a quick and low cost DIY to sell at a craft fair or online? You can DIY 1 of these boxes for as low as $6.50. *Happy Dance Time* I told you, you have to love this DIY Mason Jar Planter Box.

Cut the 5 pieces to size. Assemble with glue and nails.
I used my brad nailer, but you can use wire nails and a hammer.
I added a string of mini LED lights (aff) inside the box to make it extra warm and charming.
This box works as home decor, a gift, a project piece for a craft party, an item to sell as craft fairs, and as a beautiful wedding centerpiece.
