Decorating With Mason Jars – My Favorite Ideas

I’ve never realized how many things I’ve used mason jars for until I gathered many of them together here.

Some are old, some are new, some are green, some are blue (I’m such a poet), but there are so many uses for them.

Here are some of my favorite ways I’m decorating with mason jars around my house …

2) Corral cutlery 

I like keeping jars out in the open to store all kinds of kitchen supplies.

3) Mason Jar Art

Three of anything is a collection so show off your mason jars for big impact (plus they’re easy to grab when you get thirsty).

5) Store Bathroom Essentials 

Pretty enough to leave on the counter, add a vintage silver spoon for scooping (see How to Stamp Silver).

6) Mason Jar Vase

Group a few jars in a bottle carrier for a fun centerpiece you can easily carry from room to room.

(P.S. read my tips on growing these gorgeous hydrangeas).

7) Mason Jar Christmas Tree

From an antique blue mason jar tree topper to clear mason jar ornaments filled with sweets, my white tree is fun in the kitchen.
