Where I come from a mason jar has many uses.  We drink out of them, we can with them, and we store stuff in them.  The older I have gotten the more I have grown to just love mason jars and their many uses.  It seems like I’m not the only one.  Each time I hop on Pinterest, I see more and more neat ideas and uses for these glass canning jars that inspire me to have even more fun with mason jars.  

People are making meals and treats and putting them in mason jars.  Some people are finding creative storage solutions for bathrooms, and there are some who are creative enough and know some electrical work turning mason jars into a lighting feature.  The imaginative things that people are coming up with amaze me, so I thought I could share some with you all.

If you end up making any mason jar crafts, let me know!  I would love to hear about it.  So far I have about five different things I want to try, and when I get the time you can be sure I will.

Bathroom organization has never looked cuter.  I love this idea for my bathroom for a couple of reasons.  Our bathroom is not the biggest, so any simple organization will help.  And we live in an old farm house, so mason jars kind of fit.

Keep your crafts organized with mason jars too.  You can even dye the jars to match any color decor you’d like.

The painted mason jars have a totally different look…it’s very chic.  You can write on plain jars with hot glue before painting to get the raised letters.

I have been eyeing a light fixture similar to this in the Pottery Barn catalog for months.  This one was done by a do-it-yourselfer whose husband is an electrician.  Lucky girl!

Not only does preparing your meals this way make mealtime easier, but it also can make it healthier.
