And even if you're not super-crafty, we've got ridiculously easy mason jar crafts to show your love to your sweetheart, family, friends, teachers and even your four-legged family members. From vases and treat jars to body scrubs and candles, there are so many simple, pretty Valentine's Day crafts to make that start with a mason jar.
