You know when you come across a project that’s so simple yet so impressive? Well, this DIY mason jar tumbler falls squarely into that category. It’s the perfect blend of easy-to-make and totally cool. Recently, I had a friend who adores iced coffee, and I wanted to surprise her with something thoughtful without breaking the bank or waiting around for shipping delays. Enter: the DIY mason jar tumbler. Not only does it look super cute, but it also feels good knowing you made it yourself—and it’s way cheaper than buying one online!
To get started, you’ll need just a few supplies: a mason jar with its lid (check your pantry—you probably already own one!), a rubber 3/8-inch grommet, a drill with the appropriate bit, and a straw. Oh, and don’t forget your favorite beverage for testing once it’s done!
Step 1: Take your jar lid and locate the exact center. Use the drill bit to carefully make a hole. If you’re unsure about drilling, start slow and double-check your placement before going all the way through.
Step 2: Insert the rubber grommet into the hole you just created. This step is crucial—it not only protects your hands from sharp edges but also gives your project a polished look. Make sure it fits snugly, and gently work it in until it sits perfectly.
Step 3: After drilling, wash both the jar and lid thoroughly to remove any leftover metal shavings. Then, pour in your favorite drink, secure the lid tightly, and pop in your straw. Voila! Your very own DIY mason jar tumbler is ready to go.
And there you have it—your new favorite accessory for sipping iced drinks! These are such a fun gift idea too. For example, imagine filling one with a pre-made iced coffee mix, some reusable ice cubes, and maybe even a handwritten note. It’s the kind of present that feels personal and practical all at once. Plus, they’re budget-friendly enough to whip up a couple for holiday gifts this year!
I hope you enjoyed this little project as much as I did. Let me know if you give it a try—I’d love to see how yours turns out. And if you have any tips or variations, share them in the comments below!
