Did you know a Parmesan shaker lid will fit on a regular canning jar?

I’ve found certain other condiment jar lids fit Mason jars, too, not for canning, but for storage. You can also buy plastic lids to replace the ring & seal once you open a jar of jam, relish or other things that will be opened multiple times. 😊

I no longer use plastic containers for my food. I was smelling and tasting plastic. I only use mason jars now. Pure glass. No after taste in my food. The lids are made of bamboo for display. Plus it's easy to see what I have.

Yup, I’m getting to that point.

So sad Mr Mason died penniless, but glad Ball still puts his name on their jars. I’d love to see gift ideas with recipes to go in decorated (or not) Mason jars. Since I know you don’t like to cook I know you’d recommend ones that are easy-peasy!

I thought it was sad too.... but love that his name lives on. 💐

I always enjoy learning the backstory of products we take for granted! Thanks!

I love the history lesson! I like finding out background stories about different things! It was so nice of Ball to keep his name on the jars as a tribute to him! ❤️ So many great ideas for use of these jars! Thank you! 😊❤️

I'm a copy cat, I don't seem to have many original ideas and all of these are the best! The more , the merrier. thank you.

Love the history behind the jars. I am an alumnus of Ball State University funded by the Ball Family in Muncie, Indiana. I knew about their Ball glass jars. Nice to know they recognize the legacy of John Landis Mason by printing his name on their jars.

I need to get some jars! Oh wait, I have jars somewhere! I am going to pour paint and make some lights!

Love the idea of decoupaging the bee napkin on the jar. The history behind the Mason jars was nice. Thank you for sharing.

Fun! I’ll use the idea for straining thread through the hole in cardboard at the sewing machine. 🪡

WOW!! I NEVER THOUGHT OF ALL OF ALL OF THESE IDEAS! YOU OPENED MY EYES. NOW TO FIND THE JARS.

Great ideas. Thanks for sharing hugs my dear friend

Hi. Good to see you. 😊

I love that you included the history of mason jars. I keep and reuse certain mason and other wide mouth jars in large and small sizes in my kitchen and around the house for storage of small items. My favorites are giant two-quart jars that I bought especially for rice, pasta, oats/grains, nuts/snacks, and cereal. My favorite use of mason jars is in my garden. I have a dozen or so mason jars converted into solar lights. I cut 3mm clear plastic to fit inside the ring lid and use waterproof sealer to attach an inexpensive solar path light to the lid and then to seal it to the ring lid. I painted some of the lids and added colorful glass drops to some of the jars. They sit in sunny beds or hang on shepherds' hooks. The total cost is maybe $3.00 a jar and they are so pretty.

I have 2 jar dispensers in the bathroom for moisturizing soap and antibacterial soap at the sink. Much easier to refill from the economical bulk container and clean the outside weekly. I also use them for dried beans in the pantry that are sold in plastic bags. Muchveasier to store. And widemouth ones are great for portioning leftovers for reheating. I love the craft ideas, especially making your own lids from repurposed items. Great video.

I love all the ways you can use these jars.

YES!!!! Decoupaging on jars! Please do this. I want to learn!

I picked up two of these jars as the local hobby store along with a bag of colored glass rocks and made door stops with them. Cheap, easy, and because I don't mistreat them, long lived. They have done their duty in my home for over 20 years.

What a great idea. I filled the bottom of mason jars with colored glass drops and made them into solar lights, using inexpensive solar path lights from Walmart. I wired the jars and hung them using coated chain.

Somehow, I manage to find vintage and antique Mason jars at ridiculous low prices at yard sales, thrift stores, and flea markets. I even found a bunch of old green ones in the woods on my property where there was an old homestead. My favorite decoration with a Mason jar is not really functional except for a good laugh. I took a Mason jar that is about 120 years old. (I'm particularly protective over this particular jar.) I made a vintage looking label for it that says "Brilliant Ideas." Then I filled it with all shapes and size light bulbs. I save weird things like blown vintage Christmas lights and old looking blown bulbs. Then I put a vintage lacey handkerchief between the lid and the ring. I keep my "Brilliant Ideas" jar on my kitchen window sill just in case I ever need one.😁

For food or other storage the plastic lids from mayonnaise fit canning jars quite well and are usually airtight. Some lids from peanut butter will also fit. I prefer free but you can also purchase "freezer" or "canister" lids. A small piece of hardware cloth or poultry mesh cut to fit into a canning ring can add support for a floral display.

@The Crafty Organizer clean the jar with soap and water then before you apply napkin wipe area with alcohol and allow to dry. Don't touch it after you apply it. Let it dry completely. Then apply a second coat to seal it. You got this. Just remember not to touch it while it's wet, it's a sticky mess.

I also learned how to can veggies with my Mama. She was one of 16 children and learned to make biscuits from scratch. She was also a seamstress and quilter. Her Mama embroidered on muslin cloth and made a quilt for me. It is one of my most treasured things. I miss her so much, but she lived to be 85 and lived with us the last few years. So many wonderful memories.

Poor Mr. Mason he may have died Penny less. But he was very knowledgeable.❤

I’ve painted jars with a mix of mod podge and paint, if I want to make a design I use fabric puffy paint first and then paint over it. It’s great for using up puffy paint that is in those neon colours that don’t get used up and it a little more controllable than hot glue. I’ve also done a glass ramekin with glitter and mod podge on the inside and used it to store my rings.

Yes, please, on the decoupaged jars! I'd love to know which kinds of decoupage glue dries hard and non-sticky, since I've had acrylic paints and glues alike be kind of sticky when the project is finished. Will the jars need to be varnished?
