20 Fun Ways To Use A Mason Jar

Mason jars have become a trendy item to use for many reasons, in many different ways.

Instead of the traditional way of using mason jars (for canning vegetables), here are innovative and fun ways to use those mason jars around the house.

I found these ideas on Pinterest, and thought they were worth sharing on one blog page. 

1) Write on a mason jar with hot glue, then paint over it for a pretty vase look. 
Then fill with flowers or just use for decoration. 

2) Use a large mason jar as a lamp stand. 

Fill it up with little items! (Just not water or anything flammable..)

3) Hanging lights. Love this idea. 

4) Put labels on the jars and make it an easy way to organize your desk, work space, pantry, or craft/art closet. 

5) Hanging jars for bathroom accessory organization. 

This would be a good idea to hang on the wall. 

6) Screw a parmesan cheese shaker top on a mason jar and use for multiple purposes! Powdered sugar, seasoning, glitter, etc. 

7) Pop a hole in the top and make it a fun drinking jar with a straw. 

8) Pack a lunch to-go with a mason jar. 

9) Mason jars are a great and simple way to give gifts.

10) Hanging mason jars for growing indoor or outdoor herbs.

11) The perfect size for storing cupcake liners. 

And they won't get smashed in a drawer somewhere. 

12) Hanging mason jars for miscellaneous storage.

13) Hot glue a pin cushion on top of the lid and store buttons, needles, pins, and other sewing supplies inside. Perfect.

14) Hot glue the lid of the jar underneath a cabinet for space-saving storage in the kitchen or anywhere in the house,

15) Turn a mason jar into a more attractive soap dispenser.

16) Paint mason jars and turn it into a vase. 

17) Fill half way with water, put fresh cilantro inside, cover with a plastic bag, and put it in the fridge. 

This method will make cilantro last much longer.

18) A small mason jar is the perfect size for a DIY candle.

19) Mason jars are great for a snack on-the-go.

20) A more attractive salt dispenser, and works just as great.
