Conversation hearts are far from my favorite Valentine’s candy, but they are kind of iconic. Instead of breaking a tooth on one of these not-so-tasty treats, take advantage of their color and shape by using them to decorate instead. I made this cute candy heart mason jar with a couple of bags of candy from the dollar store.

HOW TO USE THE VALENTINE’S DAY MASON JAR
I plopped a votive candle in my finished jar, but you could also use the jar to hold a special gift or as a vase. If you use the jar as a vase for fresh flowers, be careful not to spill any water on the candies because they will eventually disintegrate.
