I hope to inspire you to make your own mason jar vases, just like I was inspired by my friend Sharon.
Reclaimed Picket Fence
Have you seen the projects I’ve made from all this old picket fence I saved from the burn pile? Seriously, why would anyone throw out all of this yummy fence wood?

Scrap Picket Fence Pieces
I had these pieces left over after making the potting bench above. I used some to make the coat rack but still had a few left over. Aren’t these going to be perfect for my mason jar vases?
Then I remembered seeing this great mason jar wall sconce from Elizabeth & Co.
Automotive Hose Clamp
I have a lot of junk in my stash, but I didn’t have any of these automotive hose clamps, so mine were purchased new.
I wasn’t able to find the set of clamps that Sharon used, so I bought three of them separately from Home Depot. They were too large, so I had to cut quite a bit off the end. After fitting them to my jars, I snipped off the ends with my tin snips. Then, I marked where I needed to drill my hole.
Mark and Drill a Hole to Attach the Clamp to the Picket
I drilled the hole into the metal using a scrap piece of wood. This will allow me to attach the clamp to the mason jar vases.
I attached the clamp to the whitewashed picket scrap with a screw.
Secure Mason Jar
Finally, I attached the jar by tightening the clamp, but not too tightly.
A “d” ring allows it to be hung on a wall or fence. I buy these in bulk on Amazon.

Mason Jar Picket Fence Vase
These mason jar vases are very versatile. You can use them indoors or out. Would you use flowers or candles?
A little sand helps elevate a candle.
This mason jar has been spray painted blue, then lightly sanded with an emery board to allow the light of a candle to glimmer through the words. Of course, I used picket fence pieces, but you could use any reclaimed wood, especially old pallet wood!
I think these would be great for an outdoor party or wedding!

Super cute Gail, they would be so fun to have around the back yard for a party, and yes a wedding too!
The blue one is my favorite! A wall of those would look awesome.
I love anything with fence post but I love the candle holder for sure. Nice job lady.
Hi Gail !
I have tried to reply to your comment several times about my wood stars but for some reason it wont let me!
I even tried to email you & it won’t let me!
You can get the 2 links from my blog post on how to make them or if you want I can come back & leave them in a comment. Sorry! I don’t know whats going on!
Let Me know & thanks again!
Lovely, Gail, and quick to make! I would like to find a fence like you did.
Gail, I love these mason jar vases and sconces! I totally want to make these for our new house!!!!
Gail I love your picket fence Mason Jar holders. That picture with the red flowers is just beautiful… I’ve gotta find a pretty fence to repurpose now 🙂 Great projects 🙂
Thank you Susan. Those flowers are real. I grew them in my flower garden. It was tough for me to snip them for this post. 🙂
I think yours are more attractive than the Elizabeth & co one. I think I’m mire partial to the sconces than the vase but all are pretty.
Cool idea!
