I am sharing today a bunch of awesome ideas using jars.
They are one of those things that I can never have enough of.
They are affordable, have many uses and they can be recycled.
What else can we ask for?
Vases
This is one of the many ways you can use jars for decor.
Paint them, hang them, cover them with fabrics… whatever you do they will look adorable.
I love the metallic look!

Luminaries
I love the idea of having the light of a candle reflecting on glass and even water.
I don’t have a favorite here… both of these ideas will make an indoor and outdoor space magical.
Check out this chandelier… WOW!

This is just plain clever.
I use jars all the time to store items that I use often…
Let me show you some of my own ideas and a few more that I have found around.

I love a party, a barbecue, a gathering of any type and using jars is perfect when you are throwing a party with a budget.
I love this look for an outdoor celebration.

Give them!
Now open your kitchen cabinets and never look at those empty jars the same way again!
Have FUN creating!
…Make sure you come back at 6:30 pm to party!
See you later!
Howdy! This post couldn’t be written any better! Reading this post reminds me of my old room mate! He always kept talking about this. I will forward this post to him. Fairly certain he will have a good read. Thank you for sharing!
Those are super cute! I need some jars now!
ALL of your jar ideas are fabulous! I love jars for anything and everything. I just made a jar for my sister-in-law that was full of ivory cotton lace, ivory heart-shaped pearls, ivory felt flowers, ivory buttons and small ivory french script die cut hearts. I also put in an antique key and hung a couple of small crystals from the lid with fishing line. They look like they are floating. It’s just a fun jar to look at and display. Oh, forgot to mention, after all of the goodies were in the jar, I sprinkled in a good dose of iridescent glitter.
Love all those ideas! Thanks so much for sharing:)
Every single one of those ideas is cute. Trying to think how I can incorporate drinking from them with straws for my son’s graduation party. That might be too much fuss for him, but in the class color of purple….. some dark berry colored drink in my glass jug with purple/white straws in jars? How cute would that be!

Lovely collection!
I love when people use mason jars as cups- they’re such a neat alternative!

I love love love the cake in a jar!! This would be a fun project to do with the kiddos.
We did this for our daughters 30 Th Birthday , I help her baby sister make them , because she wanted this for her Big Sister , and they turned out AWESOME , for 12 mason jars 3 boxes of cake mix , and you’ll have to bake a little longer then 35 minutes . Great and every one LOVED LOVED THEM ! F.Y.I. they also keep moist for 3 days in the mason jars !
Such beautiful ideas that you have shared Desiree…. Oh you cannot go wrong with a beautiful jar! Think my favorite were the chandelier and the fabric wrapped decorations. So stunning, yet so simple.
Thanks for all the ideas in one place 🙂
