Hello Sunshines!
I have a super easy project for you:
DIY Salt & Pepper Shakers using Mason Jars.
OK, this is a project that literally took me under 5 minutes to make
and since I am a jar junky it was free.
Yes… FREE!
Are you like me that always has some awesome jars on hand?
You never know when you are going to need these babies!
MATERIALS
All you’ll need to complete this project are two small jars,
{ I think they are about 6 to 8 oz. Jars… You can find them at Wal-Mart }
…a small nail, a hammer and a marker.
{ Isn’t my hammer cute? }
I eyeball everything, if you don’t feel comfortable doing so
use a marker to determine where you want the holes to be.
Make three holes for the pepper and about six for the salt.
After you have marked where the holes are going to be use the nail to make them.
Now add the salt and pepper…
You are done!
Do you want to know something cool about these salt and pepper shakers?
They are perfect for camping or picnics!
Think about it…
Just change the under lid for one without the holes so it dosen’t spill…
when you are ready to use them put the lid with the holes back!
Come on!
…Is this awesome or what?
I think I am giving myself a sticker!

I am sharing this project over at these awesome parties!
LOVE THIS! Right after work, I’m heading to my granny’s to raid her Mason jars 😉 Thanks for sharing!

I’m totally going to make myself some. I was setting the table for Mother’s Day and hated the ugly shakers I had to put on the table. These are totally my style!
Great, inexpensive, practical ideas! Thanks!
I’m totally going to do this!!! Oh, and YES, love the hammer. 😉
Jessica, you are going to love them!
They’d certainly be MUCH easier to fill than those darn S&P shakers that have that rubber plug in the bottom of them. I can never get those out without tearing them up!
Alright, you’re pretty much a genius 🙂 I’m pinning this and sticking you on my blogroll!
Hahaha!
Thank you Britni…♥
This is the only salt and pepper shakers my Gram uses and still uses. You made me miss her, but now I’m going to make a pair so that I can think of her everytime I set the table. Thanks…
Cute!
I am not sure why I didn’t think about doing this before…
They are the best salt & pepper shakers I have ever had! EVER!
Feel free to share this project here too:

I’d love to have you link up!
Thanks.
🙂
You sure wouldn’t have to fill them as often 😉 hehe
Cute & casual. Like that combo!
Hope you had a wonderful Mothers Day Desiree!!
As a lover of all things mason jars this is very simple and creative! I’ll be doing this for sure!
Alison, they are perfect to have for your everyday cooking!
I love them!
They are super easy to wash too!
Have fun making your own… Have a wonderful week.
…♥
I love it Desiree! You totally deserve that sticker… and maybe the “I rock mason jars sticker” too hehe! I know what I’m doing with all my jars after Addison’s party. Well at least 2 of them ; )
Ashley I have a party coming up next week too… My Anni will be turning 10.
We are excited!
Have a great week my friend!
