New Twist On: Mason Jars

Oct 192011
 



I love shar­ing ways to repur­pose dif­fer­ent items. Today I’m fea­tur­ing a clas­sic favorite, mason jars. Here are five ways I’m lov­ing them:

1.Pie In A Jar

Our Best Bites came up with this genius idea. They’re indi­vid­ual serv­ing sizes and can go straight from your freezer to your oven. These pies in a jar are per­fect to have on hand for unex­pected guests or a sud­den crav­ing of sweet good­ness! Find the recipe and direc­tions here.

2. Painted Flower Jars

I love this col­or­ful cre­ative way to re-use mason jars. Wouldn’t these make great bud­get friendly cen­ter­pieces for your next party? For step by step direc­tions go to The CSI Project.

3. Bath­room Beauty Storage

Clever! Clever! Clever! Lovely Lit­tle Details came up with a great bath­room stor­age idea.

4. Sewing Kit in a Jar

Whether we sew or not, we all need a mini mend­ing kit. This is a great diy gift idea! Find out how to make these by Martha Stew­art here.

5. Soap Dispenser

Heather Bullard made this diy soap dis­penser to keep on her pot­ting bench. I think this would be fun in a bath­room or kitchen as well. You could also bring some antibac­te­r­ial hand san­i­tizer to a park pic­nic or party. For a host­ess gift, fill a mason jar up with some yummy smelling hand lotion. Find the tuto­r­ial on how to make one here.

    Love it! I have been col­lect mason jars and spray paint the tops of lids. The pickle jars are great for dog treats or flour. I did the same for jam jars for seson­ings and put them in a old wooden box to give it that extra touch.. Never thought of the bath­room. Thanks for sharing!

    Now that’s my kind of jar! I’m going to have to whip some of those up and post at a future time. Thanks for the idea.

    In South Africa, we went to a restau­rant where they served “Jam Jars”…delicious fruity cock­tails served in Mason jars.  You could order a straw­berry jam jar, mango etc. From that time for­ward, any food or drink that rocks my world deserves a,… ” Now, thats the Jam” ;) Btw, your onion cheese loaf…“The Jam”

    I love the pin cush­ion jar. My favorite use for mason jars is food gifts. (ie. cook­ies in jar-all the dry goods lay­ered with direc­tions attached for the recip­i­ent to bake their own)
