Mason Jars are a basic staple for anyone who does canning at this time of year - but they are also a great craft and decoration staple. So what all can you do with a Mason Jar? Let's explore!
1. Use it as a Centerpiece
I love the idea of sticking flowers into mason jars. There is just something so rustic and simple about it. To me the more organic and crazy the arrangement the better.

2. Turn it into a Hanging Lantern
I know a lot of people in blogland took their turn at knocking off the Hanging Lanterns from PB this year. I was no exception - here was my version, filled with river rocks.
3. Make Seasonal Luminaries
I love the idea of using LED tealights and making seasonal pathway lights. Like these spooky Halloween Luminaries that Amanda @ Crafts by Amanda made! Aren't these adorable and a great way to lead your trick-or-treater's to your door!
4. Turn it into a Soap Dispenser

4. Turn it into a Soap Dispenser
Ok - how simple is this. Drill a hole in the top and put a pump in. And then you have a great looking vintage dispenser! Super cute and so easy!

5. Transform a Chandelier
My uber-talented friend Beth @ Stories of A to Z made this fantastic Mason Jar Chandelier this summer. How neat is this?

6. Convert it into an Oil Lamp
I love this idea - you can actually by conversion kits to to this too. Check out this lamp that Carol @ Raised in Cotton made. Just love it!

7. Turn it into a Sewing Kit
Love this Sewing Kit in a Jar from Martha Stewart. Having a fix it kit like this in your closet? Now that is a good thing.
8. Use it for Decorative Storage
I mean storage is what it was designed for in the first place! I love this hanging storage that I found on Weeping Cherries. Isn't this brilliant?

Or if you have open shelving it is a great way to store everyday items.

9. Fill it with a Gift
A favorite frugal Christmas gift - recipes in a mason jar are an easy way to make a personalized gift without a lot of cash! You can find oodles of different ones online if you search but I found a great group here at Squawkfox that includes free printable labels! You can thank me now that you have all of your holiday hostess gifts covered!

Sigh. Love them all! Mason jars are fantastic and I have yet to find some great vintage blue ones with the zinc lids at a reasonable price. But once I do you can bet they'll be lining my craft room shelves! Thanks for the shout out friend!
Yes! Love this! I use Mason jars! My favorite uses: at Christmas, I fill with fake cranberries and top with candles, and for my 4th of July BBQ, I set one at each table, stuck a bandana and silverware in it, and then the guests used the mason jar to drink out of!
Wow! Impressive. *sigh* I need to be more crafty and resourceful!
When I was growing up, we it was a hot thing to convert them to lamps with lamp kits and fill them with buttons or such. Great suggestions Jess!
WOW! These are some really awesome ideas! I am actually using mason jars as centerpieces for my son's graduation next weekend.
Thank you for sharing these!!! I just bought a blue Ball mason jar at a flea market yesterday to make a soap dispenser! :)
I saw that article in Country Living and I loved it. Thanks for all the other great ideas too. I think I will let the boys make some of those cute ghost lights.
Great post!
I love this post...I am always looking for new decorating ideas and posts like this are soo fun!!
Great ideas! I really like the oil lamps.
LOVE the chandelier! I also like the terrarium idea! Cute little dear!

I've actually never heard of that brand of jar, but I do love glass jars in all their forms. I'm planning on doing jars of home-made sweets for Christmas this year :)
I love this post-so many wonderful ideas-and we all have them laying around-the ghosts are my favorite=probably because the time of year!
I love mason jars- great post!

I have so many jars that we used at our wedding and now have some new ideas to use them for, thank you! I'm especially interested in the chandelier (and going to check out her post) and thinking it might just be what I was needing in the entry hall.......
All so cute! I love the Halloween ones, I might have to do that as a craft with my kiddos.
What a wonderful collection of ideas, thanks for including my luminaries!

I use gallon glass jars for cannisters. I am planning on etching the name of each thing on the jars, just haven't gotten to it yet. I also use other sizes to store odds and ends in, as in macaronni or beans or such as that. I would love to have more gallon jars, but my FIL died and we don't buy gallon jars of anything anymore.
What a great list! I really like the soap dispenser and fill it with treats ideas.
So many wonderful mason jar ideas!
I just stumbled upon this post and had to comment. I LOVE mason jars, the blue ones are the most lovely. I used tones of them at my diy wedding and it just added so much sweet character :o)
My favorite Mason jar use: once a month you will see one on the back of my toilet filled with tampons. My bathroom is an odd shape and there's no convenient storage by the toilet. To me, it's a quick and easy way to always have them available. (And it prevents the conversation with the Mr. on "what time of the month" it is and "if it's over or not".)
I love the mason jar chandeleir, I'm trying to figure out a way to redo my ceiling fan light with these! Thanks for this inspiring post!
Wonderful ideas. I'm always looking for inspirational post for uses of these jars. We have some of these for sale and it's always good to have a place to point people when they're wondering just what to do with the jars.

I don't have a picture, but my dad used to nail the lids to a beam, put screws or odds and ends in the jars and then screw them into the lids. Great for a workshop or craft room.

I mean "10 Ways To Use Mason Jars in Your Home" is kinda plain.
You could glance at Yahoo's front page and note how they create news headlines to get viewers to open the links. You might add a video or a related pic or two to grab readers excited about what you've written.

little bit more interesting.
