Mason Jar Window Treatment

Spring break seems like a distant memory now.  In fact, summer break is so close my kids can almost taste it …

We never seem to go anywhere for spring break.  We stay local.  “Staycation,” if you will.  In fact, we have been “staycationing” long before it became trendy …

So this past spring break, while millions of American families romped in the surf or explored museums or packed up the car for a road trip, I was working on more mason jar projects.  This time around, I used some mason jars to create a window treatment.

Though, I should use that term very loosely.  For many, the term window treatment conjures images of creating privacy.  Blocking out unwanted voyeurs.  But to be honest with you, I don’t really use window treatments to cover my glass block windows.  The glass block does the job well enough to obscure the view looking in.  And I was more interested in improving the view looking out ….

And how fitting to use mason jars to improve the view of mason blocks …

The window treatment was so simple to make.   I just used some jute and Command hooks.  Now, if you want something a bit more permanent, I recommend real hooks.  You know, more securely attached to the window frame using a drill …

Maybe next spring break I’ll work up some fun mason block project ideas …
