I just LOVE penguins – I think they are SO CUTE!
Plus they are brilliant and Christmassy because I always associate them with cold weather - lot of my Christmas decorations are penguin themed too, including some penguin soft toys that I may have ‘borrowed’ from the kids many years ago and never quite returned….
Anyway I decided that I had to have a go at making a Mason jar penguin. My idea was to use it as a Christmas decoration (of course!).
When I do crafting I love to upcycle items that would otherwise have gone to landfill or into the recycling bin. The shape of this particular pickle jar kind of looked just like a penguin to me, and the idea was born.
This penguin Mason jar craft is SO easy that kids could easily make it in an afternoon and have their jar decorating the house that evening.
Here is how I made my simple pickle jar into a fun penguin decoration.

As a finishing touch I decided to add a little bit of tartan ribbon to the top of the jar to make him look extra Christmassy.
And there you have it – a cute Mason jar penguin craft idea that is easy enough for the kids to have a go at and make in an afternoon.
