Mason jars seem to be one of those things that collect in abundance within your cupboard.

They are always handy to store household items like buttons or safety pins.

I love to use them for leftover soup or chili. Many of my friends give gifts of homemade bath and body products in mason jars. And of course, they are great for canning fresh produce!

But what to do with the extra dozen jars that still remain after you organize little items and store food and craft body butter?

Decorate your home with them! You can use these handy little jars in every season and every room in your home.

Winter

This Winter adorn your mantles and shelves with handmade snow globes in mason jars!

Decorate your scene on the lid and then attach the “globe” jar. Couldn’t be more simple! Pass the dreary days indoors with a modern yet rustic mason jar light fixture strung over your table, or a shabby chic mason jar chandelier.

And if you have dozens of mini jars, you could even create a large-scale planter outside with rows and rows of mason jar pots!
