How To: 10 Different Uses of Mason Jars in Your Home

I know many of you are wondering what TF is a mason jar! heheh well, a mason jar is a moulded glass jar mainly used in home canning and preservation. It is the jar you see jams and preserves in. Its strong and can withstand heat. But other than canning and preservation there are other uses of mason jars or any glass jars you might have in your home.

I have always said that I am a cheapie. Yes I like the finer things in life but I also love to save money that I do not necessarily need to use in order to save up for the finer things in life. So this basically means I will recycle, up cycle, reuse and over use anything that does not need to be thrown out just yet. So if you are one of those  who throw out glass jars please stop, reuse, upcycle, recycle. Here are a few ideas.

 

1. HERB GARDEN

 

How cute and handy are these glass jar herb gardens? So easy to put together and they do not take much space. You can mount them up and get them to be a form of kitchen deco or place them on your balcony. Get the tutorial from One Good Thing By Jillee

2. CREATE STORAGE 

 

Most women I know suffer from the lack of  enough space in their bedrooms and bathrooms. This is an artsy way of creating space in your bathroom that will double up as chic deco. Get the tutorial from Skinny Meg

 

3. CUPCAKE LINER STORAGE

I hate how these liners can be all over the place in my baking storage container. They even get old and get tears before I use them. Since I recently learned this trick, I am a happy baker. Get more details from Texas Joy

4. METALLIC DIPPED MASON JARS

I love gold. I think it makes very elegant house deco. You can use these  jars as vases or even storage for pens. So chic. Get the tutorial from Lily Shop

5. BALLOON DIPPED JARS

 

Isn’t this just ingenious? The coloured bottom is a cut up balloon so you reuse the jars in others ways or put whatever colour you fancy. So Genius! Tut from Brit Co

 

6. SEQUIN INSPIRATION

 

 

This is just bomb. Don’t you think so too? You can buy sequins from any of the shops that sell material in ngara and try this out. They make an amazing centre piece. For the How to go to It All Started With Paint 

7. SUGAR, CINNAMON, SALT AND PEPPER SHAKER

What I love most about this is that it can also act as a storage container for the cinnamon and it makes it super easy to use. For the Tutorial visits Mum 4 Real

8. ROOM SCENTS 

I do not think there is anything that smells more amazing than homemade air freshener. For a foodie like me anything that smells of natural fruits and spices is something after my own heart. For the tutorial visit The Yummy Life 

9. PENCIL HOLDER MASON JARS

Great craft to do with the kids for their storage. They will appreciate it even more. Get the tutorial here from Kootut Murut

10. SERVING DRINKS 

Great for serving both alcoholic  and non alcoholic drinks. It looks really pretty with fruits inside it. I love to serve my cocktails in them as I do not have enough glasses in my house hahaha and also they are just pretty. Here are a few cocktail recipes you can try from Steve The Bartender
