  1. we used to use the mason jars as drinking glasses when we were growing up! lots left over from canning veggies, fruits, and relish. my mom giggled at me recently because I was using one for water even though I had perfectly beautiful glasses in the cupboard! 🙂

  2. I also love the idea of using the mason jars for “thankful thoughts”. each family member writes/reports something about his/her day that they are thankful for. the slips of paper are stored in the jar until thanksgiving when the jar is opened and we can read and remember all the special memories made throughout the year before. 🙂 it is good to be reminded about the treasured times and all the joy that life can bring!

  3. We use mason jars to buy bulk items from our local co-op…I love looking at all of the different items in their jars- beans, nuts, flour, oats. Also love filling them with fresh flowers- looking forward to some daffodils and tulips soon!

  4. crafting a jar with christmas greenery and little white lights. adds a country charm to the holiday – or all the year through.

  7. When ever I see a Mason jar, I am reminded of my grandmother. She had a love for gardening and spent her days tending a fruit and vegetable garden. Her life revolved around the seasons and gardening. The fruits of her labor were then carefully preserved in a variety of sizes of mason jars. A visit to grandmothers meant a meal with garden canned vegetables and a dessert which included delicious preserved berries. Our farewell embrace was sealed with a mason jar of homemade raspberry jelly, to tide us over until the next trip.

  8. MASON JARS are awesome! We live on a lake and my fav thing to use them for is mood lighting! I use wire and wrap around the lip if to be hung and put various items in the jar depending on party theme with a votive candle! Hang or set around the patio & deck! Most used items for me is sand, seashells, and a candle! Perfect for the lake! HOPE YOU LIKE MY IDEA!!! 🙂

  13. I like putting candles in them and using them as luminaries on our patio. So pretty – and the wind doesn’t blow out the candles!

  14. I dried the petals from my wedding bouquet and collected them in a mason jar. I found a candle topper that fit the jar perfectly and glued the penny that was in my shoe to the top. It is adorable and graces my mantle to remind me always of my beautiful day.

  15. I’m a southern girl…mason jars make the perfect container for a nice cold glass of sweet ice tea. My mama uses them when she makes a big pot of soup and ends up having to share with the whole neighborhood!

  32. I do also like to drink out of them….that’s why I like to give them away as gifts…so my friends get a set to drink from… A gift that keeps giving..

  44. I would love to use mason jars to separate my crafts, buttons, paint brushes, cutting supplies, pens/markers, etc. However glass breaks pretty easy around here. Maybe soon though. I might try wrapping them in twine and see if that’ll prevent breakage. Lol.

This necklace & Mason jars make me think of summer college breaks spent with my best friend’s family in southern Michigan… drinking lemonade out of mason jars, catching fireflies, and having soul-deep talks with my soul-sister and her family.

  149. We live by the beach, so I fill them with sand and shells to decorate our house with. But your mason jar of hearts takes the cake!!

  150. There are so many ways I use mason jars… If I have to name a favorite, I’ll say button storage in my craft room.

  151. I love the necklaces! I like to use a Mason Jar at Christmas in my bathroom…I fill it with potpourri and a string of lights. The lights warm the potpourri so there is a soft glow and nice scent in the bathroom when guests come to visit!

  152. I have a series of different sized mason jars on my kitchen windowsill. Some are empty to highlight the shape of the glass, some have glass beads in the them, one has a couple tealight candles stacked in it.

  153. My family grew up drinking out of them. I have such fond memories of watching my dad make his ice coffee in a jar each day. He loves the feeling of the lip. Funny. Still makes me smile.

  154. My mom makes her homemade salsa and stores it in mason jars. So my favorite way to use them is for eating her yum salsa!

  155. Oh how I love the “blue” ball jars. I use them for display, as my canister set, flour, sugar, meal, dried bean, mac noodles, etc. I am working on getting my studio set up. I plan to use them there too for paperclips, pencils, pens, & who knows what else. Would love to have the necklace.

  156. we use them as glasses for our iced tea! we don’t have any others, except for little plastic ones for juice! we country! 🙂

  157. I use mason jars in my craft area to hold lots of little things and extra ribbon pieces. I love seeing all the colors come show through.

  158. I’m a southern girl … So, of course, I use mason jars for sweet tea ! We also use a mason jar to keep my sons fun , colorful flexy straws in .

  159. I love this necklace! So cute! I like how in one of the video posts where you showed us your office we saw a glimpse of your creative process when creating this necklace (you drew it on your chalkboard)! Hopefully I can win one for my Lisa Leonard collection!! 🙂

  160. So useful! My favorite way is to put flowers in them. I also use them to package soups for friends, give baking mixes as gifts, and my little girl keeps her treasures in them.

  161. I use them for so many things,
    we all have them in our rooms for change.
    on the counter for pencils, pens, markers.

  162. Mason jars are the perfect container to hold random hotel soap to place in the guest room or guest bathroom for a clean-smelling touch.

  163. I use them for everything. Left overs, oil, juice, salad dressing, pens, pencils, craft supplies, buttons, whatever needs a home. 🙂

  164. Mason jars filled with M&M’s and other bright candy, bring extra excitement to kids’ birthday parties!

  165. Well I’ve never left a comment before but I so love this necklace.
    I am not a collector really of much and can’t say that I use mason jars all that often. What I love about this necklace is the idea of collecting something so special. When I see the mason jar full of hearts it makes me think of Jesus and all the blessings he has given me. So if I could collect anything in a mason jar it would be all the blessings I’ve received throughout my life.
    I really do love your work and the thought you put into it and the uniqueness of it. I love that God created some people to be so creative because I’m just not wired that way. You have a wonderful gift, thanks for sharing it.

  166. I guess my favorite way is what they are intended for! But I use them to store leftovers in, freeze soup and stock, store beans and grains, all sorts of things!

  167. I know this has probably been mentioned a thousand times, but I use my vintage blue mason jar as a vase for my Trader Joe and Farmer’s Market flowers….so cute.

  168. We use mason jars as an inexpensive way to make our home festive. As each holiday nears, we fill the jars with candy or little decorations in the colors of that holiday. Its a fun way to use pretty glass jars:)
    ps–the necklace=LOVE

  169. I am a newly wed and I love to put mine and my husband’s tooth brushes in them! When we began decorating our first apartment we purchased a couple shelves to put in our bathroom to keep the clutter off the counter and it turned out that mason jars fit perfectly on those shelves. Since then our toothbrushes have become friends in a mason jar! I love being married to my husband!

  170. oh.my.goodness. if ever i could win a giveaway…!!

    i love my mason jar soap dispensers. in the kitchen i have one big, clear one with dish soap (which has a lime hue) and an antique turquoise little one that holds hand soap. i love how they look on the windowsill together, catching the sun. they inspired the lime+turquoise color theme in the kitchen.

    i know it’s a random drawing, but pick me, pick me!!

  171. I love to put just about anything in a mason jar– buttons, beads… Handy, convenient & cute! Also great for storing leftovers in the fridge!

  172. I <3 Mason jars! I use them for all sorts of stuff: homemade jams {boring?}, holding the toothbrushes in the bathroom, holding the bottle brush by the kitchen sink, organizing Stuff, hanging {and non-hanging} candle holders, and all kinds of other ways! 🙂

  173. Just one use? Oh gosh – I use them for flowers, for our little guy’s barley cereal (because it’s way nicer to look in the pantry and see that than an ugly box!), and I use several vintage ones (including a couple of blue ones!) to organize craft supplies.

  174. Any kind of seasonal candy in Mason jars out on island in the kitchen. It’s time for jelly beans!! And, I know that treats from my neighbor show up on my counter in Mason jars… most recently, yummy homemade granola!

  175. Mason jars are at their best when the house my husband’s phenomenal pickles! Made fresh from the cucumbers he grew himself. 🙂 YUM!

  176. when I see a mason jar I immediately think of “barefoot Contessa”…those beautiful tablescapes she creates with simple mason jar and single bud flowers and garden greens against a stark white table iinen..oh so french and oh so pretty! Mason jars are perfect vases for flowers.

  177. I love the idea from Melissa pf The Inspired Room to fill mason jars with epsom salt and add a votive candle. I bought one of the mason jars with wire handle from Pottery Barn and that’s how I’m using it. I like the idea of hanging them outside to create a little romance.

  178. I use them to store little sayings I’ve written on tiny pieces of paper and they say things like; “you are special” “I love you” “You make me smile””you make my heart so happy” “you are beautiful” and many,many more…and my kids grab a saying every day to start or end their day.

  179. I use them in my scrapbook room and office to organize pens, buttons, paperclips, markers, etc. They are colorful and cute!

  180. I use them as canisters, vases, candy jars, cookie jars, craft supply storage… I love my blue glass mason jars! I have quite the collection. 🙂

  181. Don’t kitchen shelves look great lined with mason jars? Some filled with preserves, some with ingredients waiting to be baked or cooked into something yummy and the empty jars that make sipping ice tea even better. That’s just one room in the house! *love* mason jars.

  182. I like to save them so my son can learn how to take tops on and off of things. So far we have been 100% successful! Ha!

  183. My favorite thing to do with mason jars is wrap fine wire around them, place a votive inside and place them around my deck, on the picnic table, or even hang a few from our trees. It’s lovely to sit on the deck as the light fades and see the soft glow of the candlelight.

  184. Althought I already commented on how I use mine for iced tea, I wondered if you had ever thought of putting/creating lightning bugs into the jar for your jewelry? It made me think today while working of all the different uses I have had in my life and that has to be a favorite memory as a kid collecting them and then releasing them so they wouldn’t die.

  185. Love these! I use mason jars to house my candy buffets! I fill different sizes with different candies for Valentine’s Day and other special occasions. yummy!

  186. i love using them to drink out of or for a vase. so cute! they also make awesome containers for “in a jar” recipes! 🙂

  187. I also use mason jars for storing dry ingredients such as lentils, beans, oats. I like to tape off a little area and spray paint with chalkboard paint to label.

  188. They are great for flowers, making salad dressings, and displaying fun stuff (I have one full of bird eggs, one full of shells, and one full of dried flowers). And for capturing lightning bugs…but don’t forget to poke holes in the lid!

  189. And, also I have one in my kitchen filled with straws for the kids.. Thanks for the chance to win a necklace!

  190. I use Mason jars for EVERYTHING! I usually try and pick a few up at yard sales or Goodwill each year. Soon I will be cutting some daffodil bunches and giving them as little “cheery” gifts in mason jars.

  191. My favorite way to use a mason jar is for all my herbs from the garden.
    We harvested thyme, rosemary, basil, sage and thai basil. I have a little left from last years harvest. 🙂 I treasure fresh herbs in all my home cooked meals!

  192. The jars with flowers can be strung with wire to hang from different heights and from different objects as hanging flower vases. Very cute! We use these are our charity events as well.

  193. We grew up using Mason jars to drink tea and lemonade out of during endless summer night cookouts with friends and neighbors. After we finished our drinks, my brother and I would collect tadpoles or catepillars in them. Good memories!

  194. We use ours for date night ideas and kiddo treats…and buttons, pens, bobbin, flowers, and lots of other colorful stuff! I love the way they look around the house, and would LOVE one around my neck 🙂

  195. I love to use them as drinking glasses filled with iced tea or lemonade! I love to hear the ice clink in the glass. There’s nothing more southern!

  196. My children’s grandma Georgia always kept buttons in a mason jar. When the grandkids would visit she would bring out the buttons & give the kids a quilting needle with thread & the the kids would make bracelets & necklaces with the buttons. When grandma passed she gave the jar of buttons to my oldest daughter. To my daughter this is the dearest & most precious gift she has ever received. So I too wish to fill a mason jar full of buttons for my grandchildren to remind them of me & all the times we made jewelry.

  197. Oh my, I heart mason jars so much!! I have 5 jars on the windowsill by my back door for little misc things … change (canadian and american), beads, ribbons and an empty one. One in the laundry room for pocket treasures, nine of variying sizes on top of my fireplace for candles, two in the bathroom (toothbrushes and hair doodads), and several in my bedroom/office (change, beads, m&ms, mini plastic skulls, writing utensils and crayolas).

    I also bake cupcakes in the little ones to ship off to friends as surprises. 🙂

  198. Second post 🙂

    I also use Mason jars to put fresh flowers in (maybe add a ribbon too).

    I use the jars and flowers as center pieces for the events we have to raise money to help the animal welfare groups.

    They are simple and purrrfect! 🙂

  199. I use them by filling them half way with a variety of buttons and then put my pens & markers in them. They are hung on a piece of antique trim with hose clamps on the wall next to my craft desk.

  200. I have a wonderful plan for a mason jar. For my best friend’s 40th birthday I am going to collect beautiful quotes, saying and notes from each of her friends and family and give them to her as a keepsake. I almost can’t wait for her birthday to arrive to give it to her.

  201. I love mason jars for office/craft supplies. I just recieved my first Lisa Leonard necklace yesterday for my birthday and I LOVE it!!

  202. I actually don’t have any mason jars but since you have started posting some many cute ways to use them I think I will need to get my hands on a few!! 🙂

  203. I do a lot of animal charity work.

    I use them to put cat or dog food (or treats) in. Or small animal toys, etc. I then paint cute designs on the outside and add some embellishment (ribbon, etc.).

    We sell them to raise money for spaying, neutering, and any other animal rescue expenses.

    It is a great way to be creative and to help the truly helpless.

  204. I have to admit I mostly use mason jars for canning. My specialty is my homemade V8 juice made from all the tasty ingredients in my garden. A lot of work but totally worth it when I make that big pot of chili or goulash! YUM!

  205. At our wedding we put family wedding pictures in each jar for table decorations. Everyone loved going from table to table to see who they would find!

  206. In my craft room I use the pint mason jars to hold my markers. Love that I can see the colored tops from the top or the bottom

    I guess my favorite would be how I have all my spices, dry beans, lentils, various grains, and flours all in mason jars making my cabinets look so nice and neat.

  216. Drinking iced tea or lemonade. My mom used to made her own ice tea and kept it in there so it always seems fitting to drink it from one as well.

  217. We use small mason canning jars as CUPS:GLASSES to drink out of:) so durable! My Mom did this when I was little too:)

  218. I love mason jars, reminds me of all the canning I use to do with my mom and sisters. Peaches were my favorite to do–love that color in the mason jars.

  221. I use mason jars for EVERYTHING! Buttons, leftovers, canning, taking lunch to work….my daughter’s rock collection…

  229. I love mason jars. The older the better. They are practical for canning, yet beautiful for holding fresh flowers.

  230. Oh Lisa! My husband and I collected over 200 antique blue mason jars for our wedding- I adore them so much! Now they peak out of every little nook and cranny of our little 1940 home. This necklace reminds me of those happy wedding memories and the sweet little home we’ve built together. 🙂

  231. I use mine to hold buttons and other small things. My grand kids love to sit outside in the summer and fill them with dirt, grass or rocks. Mason jars can be so fun!

  232. my most favorite way to use mason jars?

    temporary lightning bug observatories. (never permanent).

    i also like to use them as drinking glasses–a wicked sweet tea, if you please. 🙂

  234. To catch and keep fireflies in the summer. Poke some holes in the top, add a few blades of grass and you are set!

  235. I use them for gifts in a jar. Giving someone cookie or cake or muffin mix in a jar is a great gift. I made 100 of them for my wedding favors.

  236. We used mason jars as party favors with tiny gold fish in them.

    My daughter catches lizards in our back yard (we live in fl) and we let her keep them and release them from the mason jars. She also decorates them with stickers (creating great mason jars memories )

  240. i love to put my coffee beans in a mason jar and then leave it out on the counter with a hand stamped, tea-stained tag tied around it that says coffee.

  241. I have a few here and there for vases, pencil holders etc. I really need more though and have been keeping my eye out for them! I especially love the blue ones!

  243. What don’t I use them for?? Let’s see, we drink use them to drink sweet tea. And I use them to store my crochet hooks and my quilting safety pins. I’ve been collecting them for years and just love them!

  244. Oh, how I love mason jars. So versatile–and so eco-friendly. 🙂

    My favorite use is to bring lemonade w/ raspberries or blueberries floating in it to work with me in the summertime. Perfect afternoon treat–and I can pretend that I’m sitting on a lovely wraparound porch and listening to the chirping birds while I sip.

  245. Lastly mason jars are great to make “cake in a jar” with. A friend was able to do this for her husband in Afghanistan for his birthday and it was still fresh when it arrived!

  246. My favorite use for Mason jars is to stick sand, beans, dried corn, etc in the bottom and stick a candle in it…then put a nice ribbon around the top…instant accent piece…love mason jars!

    Lisa ~ I have to comment about this piece…this is the next necklace I am ordering once I get the money to treat myself. This is the perfect necklace as my hubby’s grandma passed away 7 years ago…one of my fondest memories is when my hubby and I would go up to visit his grandparents once a week they always had coffee brewing on the stove. One night while visiting I offered to make the coffee…there was a glass jar on the stove that to me looked like sugar…so in went two heaping teaspoons of what I thought was sugar into the coffee…needless to say the sour faces I got after they drank their coffee because the jar actually contained salt!!! We laughed about that often and when granny passed away the only thing I wanted was that salt jar…it is one of my very favorite possessions, even with chips and the plastic coffee lid on top. When I see that jar it just reminds me of the love Granny and Papa had for their grandson (my hubby) and me. Thanks for making jewelry that really speaks from the heart.

  247. We are using mason jars of all shapes and sizes to decorate the tables at our women’s retreat this weekend. Our small group just put them together last night and they are soooo cute!

    We have five jars together as a centerpiece. A simple ribbon tied around a big one in the middle holds a cluster of white daisies and pink tulips. Two smaller ones hold sea salt and tealights (the battery ones as we can’t have candles lit in the church building). Because every women’s even needs treats, one has colored hard candy to match our theme colors. And my favorite, one for collecting quarters for the laundry ministry to the homeless in our community.

    Turned out so simple and cute… wish I had a picture to share!

  248. I use mason jars as candle holders – I set a few together with different sizes/colors of candles and it makes a cute decorative centre piece for my kitchen table! or any room in the house 🙂

  249. If I won, I have a couple of people in mind to give it to. First, probably my mom…we have a close relationship. Or one of my good friends.

  250. I actually just ordered this necklace and it is on it’s way to me right now. It is a birthday gift from my parents for my 25th birthday!!

  251. Great for flowers, art supplies, ribbons, old clothes pins in the laundry room, I have some that have been made into lamps filled with old marbles. Pretty much anything that will fit looks better in a Mason jar.
    My favorites are the old blue ones.

  252. I love drinking freshly brewed iced tea in them. I like clear glass for all drinks, but for some reason, iced tea in the summer with loads of ice and a freshly cut lemon swimming around looks best in a mason jar!!!

  253. I love filling them with daisies in the spring and acorns in the fall! Such a cute and inexpensive way to liven up a space 🙂

  254. One of my holiday traditions is to put tea light candles in them and line them up along our driveway for Christmas Eve. So pretty in the snow. Also fun the the summer too!

  255. We always seem to have so many Mason jars. I don’t can anymore so I give my to a friend or my daughter-in-law who do. But mostly my husband uses them for nails and screws down in his workshop!!

  256. To hold the dried rose petals from the roses my wonderful husband has given me over the years – makes them last forever…

  257. I love to fill my blue mason jars with gorgeous, pink, sweet-smelling peonies from my garden. Can’t wait for them to bloom this spring!

  258. I love putting wild flowers in them…. makes me think of my grandma’s house when i was little 🙂

  259. I use mason jars to hold pocket change around the house. When they get full the bounty goes into savings and we start all over again collecting.

  260. Mason jars…..my brother makes an awesome homemade pasta sauce & he uses Mason jars to can the sauce. It’s so yummy – definitely my favorite use of a Mason jar!

    Thanks for the opportunity to win!

  261. i love the “old barn” look of mason jars. I use them for decorations with candles or rocks, in the bathroom for q-tips and stray buttons…I’d like to transfer all my spices to small jars and add erasable chalkboard labels.

  262. I love making lanterns out of them. We have done this as a camping craft with kids….tissue squares glued to the outside, beaded wire handles, a little candle and off on a night hike we go. Magical!

  263. I love to hold various shades of white buttons. I have the old blue tinted jars filled with white buttons sitting on a shelf. Just gorgeous!

  264. Mason jars are for: Buttons, loose change before it goes into the wash, clippings of new plants starting to take root, whole grains and dried beans, home-made granola (my favorite!) & bath salts–to sit in my pantry or tie a pretty ribbon around and give to friends, and for drinking smoothies 🙂

  265. I was sooo excited when I opened your blog today and saw BIG BIG GIVEAWAY!! Made my day 🙂 I use mason jars for just about anything…crayons, decorating with candles in them, flowers, drinking from…

    Thanks for the amazing opportunity! Cheers to mason jars!

  266. My favorite ways to use Mason jars are for flowers, candy and pens/pencils. Right now I have some bright yellow daffodils on my kitchen window sill in a mason jar…they look great! Ove the summer we gave away some gifts to people with fresh tomato sauce from our garden, in mason jars of course!

  267. We use a jar to write down things we’re thankful for and then draw one out to read. It’s a special family bonding moment.

    Thanks and good lucj to all

    Xotiffany

  269. We use mason jars for everything!!! Especially in the kitchen…our pantry is fill of them….we also use them in the fridge for fresh juicing!

  270. Iced tea in a mason jar is a classic, but I love to give friends a cupcake in a mason jar for birthdays and special occassions!

  271. Another favorite mason jar in our house is tall and blue – a few of my husband’s grandmother’s 1950’s knitting needles sit in.

  272. I use Mason jars to collect change around the house. Then when the jar is full, we spend the money on a family treat!

  273. I love a simple flower arrangement in a mason jar … there’s nothing sweeter. Well, maybe if it was filled with candy. 🙂

  274. I’m actually doing a “mason jar theme” at my wedding – I’ve made 65 jars of homemade jams, the centerpieces will have flowers in big and little mason jars, and candles in little mason jars. At home, we use mason jars for our canning, as vases, and to store dry beans and pasta in. What can I say, I love mason jars!

  275. You know, I really don’t use Mason jars but I’m getting more and more into vintage stuff. I need to get some and use them for stuff like putting pens & pencils in, spring flowers, old buttons.

    Thanks for the chance to win.

  277. Right now, of the hundreds of Mason jars that I have sitting around this house, the one that has Jelly Bellys in it is my FAVORITE!!

  278. I would use the jar for memories. My friend who past away while in high school…his family has a jar and whenever they get any special memories about Matt they put them in the jar. I loved the idea of it all and that is how I would use a jar. xoxoxo I love your designs!

  279. I love to use mason jars as art… I put leftover yarn strands or small balls of yarn in them and display them on a table or shelf.

  280. Along with our kiddo’s mason jar display in his room, my own favorite mason jar collection is filled with my great grandma’s collection of thread – all on wooden spools. The colors are so bright! The robin’s egg blue spool was the color inspiration for my wedding dress…it sits at the top of the jar.

  281. I collect vintage buttons and then put them in mason jars. They look so pretty in them! Love to use them as vases for flowers also.

  282. Right now, mason jars sit on shelves in our son, Cooper’s, room (20 mos.)…they are filled with new “old school” pencils, little green army men, dominoes and another with blue monkeys from the Barrel of Monkeys game.

  283. Love your necklace. Mason jars bring back great memories of my grandmother canning her wonderful sweet and sour pickles! We have a raised bed in our backyard and grow lots of tomatoes! We pick ’em, wash ’em and put ’em right in a pot! Canning tomato suace has become our family tradition. Opening a mason jar full of suace in the middle of winter is like opening a jar of summer sunshine! I like the wide mouth ones the best!

  284. i love to use mason jars to hold my colored pencils, buttons, flowers and change…the possibilities are endless! 🙂

  285. Thanks for the chance to win. This necklace has been my favorite. The comments about buttons remind me of my childhood. My aunt gave me a huge jar of buttons as a gift one year and I would often dump them out and explore the colors and textures and then put them all back to store. 🙂

  286. Oh I haven’t used mason jars since I caught lightening bugs and put them in jars when I was little. Love your beautiful jewelry!

  288. We also have a few mason jars hanging on our back porch with tea lights inside, rustic lanterns of course.

  289. I use mason jars for EVERYTHING! And I really do mean everything. They hold pens and pencils, beautiful flowers, hot glue sticks, makeup pencils and brushes, hair accessories, coins, and little treasures from my kids. They are the perfect container for almost everything!

  290. I used mason jars from my mom’s home, put light blue cut glass and a candle and lined the walkway for our son’s wedding! Absolutely beautiful plus it was a light from Heaven as my Mom, Dad and sister are in Heaven!

  291. I love to use mason jars for flowers and to store my son’s treasures from the outdoors. As soon as I have the time and money to start canning, making yummy food to put in them will be next!

  292. I love to use mason jars to store my ribbon supple in the colours of the rainbow. It makes it easy to see what I have and looks so pretty on the shelf.

  293. I have a great mason jar with a very rusty lid. Inside I filled it with old buttons. Looks very country.

  294. my 4-year-old son is a collector, sorter, filler-and-dumper … so he has appropriated many a mason jar to fill with coins, legos and other small treasures.

  295. All of the above. Seriously. They’re pretty much in every room of my house, being utilized. My new favorite way to put them to work is using the 1/2 pint jars for my granddaughters drinking glasses. Little girls drinking from these small cuties is so adorable.

  296. I use mason jars for anything….storing coffee or nuts and displaying river rocks! Love to see some of the other ideas people had. 🙂

  297. My granddaughter lives on the east coast so when I have the chance to go to the beach with her–we collect sea shells. When I bring them home to Indiana they go into a mason jar so I can be reminded of the great time we had together. Makes my day to see that memory everyday.

  298. So boring but I love mason jars for home made jellys and jams!! Yummy in the tummy!! Love your new design!

  299. I keep a large mason jar on my island with pretzels inside. My son loves to snack on them. Also the small ones work great for dips or nuts on a veggie or fruit platter.

  300. At Christmas time I fill them (different sizes) with cranberries and water and float a cranberry tea candle. And in the spring and summer I put flowers in them

  301. What a lovely necklace! I just love mason jars – they are so useful for so many things. Right now, I am using them constantly in the science classes I teach to a local group of home schoolers! I also love to use them to hold craft supplies, like buttons, lace, ribbon, etc.

  302. Also use mason jars for homemade granola .. tie a beautiful ribbon around it and it makes a wonderful gift at Christmas for friends. Who doesn’t like receiving a gift you’ve made yourself?

  303. I always put my flowers in mason jars and put a simple jute string around the neck tied in a bow so that is my “favorite” and I also use them as my Chjristmas luminary to light my walkway… sand on the bottom and a candle inside or if snowing or raining I put the lid on and use battery candles… i change out the ribbon for halloween too! I LOVE mason jars!

  304. an oldie but a goodie – jam!! i love homemade jam, both the making and the eating! mmmmm….. makes me want to go make some toast! 🙂
    we also seem to have a lot of mason jars turned drinking glasses floating around the cupboard.

  305. I use a large mason jar to store my cupcake liners in my kitchen… shows off all the beautiful colors/patterns!

  306. We have a ton of mason jars from my hubby’s g-ma. She canned for years and we bought her home and found them all stashed in the cellar.

    I LOVE them for drinking iced tea. Yes, the lip at the top makes you dribble tea down your chin, but I don’t care. There’s something that makes you think of family and home, and of IdaLee, (his g-ma) when I’m sipping from my mason jar.

    🙂

  307. I also put dry cooking stuff in them – rice, quinoa, bulgur wheat, cous-cous, pasta, black beans, lentils, etc…. they all look rather nice lined up on the shelf! I also put my tea, coffee, sugar and chocolates in them – I love having guests over for afternoon tea… they always comment on how pretty my tea things look!

  308. My favorite thing to do with my collection of mason jars is fill them with fresh flowers! Can’t wait for spring!!

  309. Love this necklace and your giveaways!
    I have a few everyday make-up “supplies” sitting in one on our bathroom counter too . . .

    My three kids and I painted w/acrylics to decorate them up for holding flowers, paint brushes, pencils, etc.

  311. LOVE this necklace. I so would wear this to remind me every day of my granddaughter 🙂
    I love using mason jars by putting sand in the bottom and adding tea light candles all through the house

  312. I have been storing the last dibs and dabs of room paint int hem so I can see the color right way. It’s good for a little bit of touch-up paint.

  314. Love your jewelry. I’ve purchased pieces for friends but would love something for myself. The adoption necklace would be perfect as we adopted our son 26 years ago. He is such a treasure and I would love something to wear daily to commemorate that blessed event.

  315. How fun this is. I bet everyone uses them a different way.
    I sure hope I win one of those beautiful necklaces.
    I use the jars for so many things. I use them to store baking supplies, like chocolate chips, sugar, marshmallows. I use them to store buttons, cottonballs. I also use them as a flower vase. Oh the best is to fill them with cookie or brownie ingredients and give as a gift.
    Happy day Lisa
    deezie

In my living room I have a jar for pencils, a monster big one holding candle sticks and some small ones in the window with votive candles (very pretty, I recommend it!)

Love your jewelry!

  344. My favorite way to use mason jars is to make lanterns. Ala Martha Stewart good things from the late 90’s or maybe 2000? Make a hanger out of wire, fill with sand and put in a votive (with a votive holder, i learned) or a tealight in a clear holder. hang. love it!

  347. My grand daughter (aged 2) always leaves “treasures” tucked underneath/between the sofa cushions. Things like paperclips, pennies, a sock,animal crackers, her little books, rocks from the neighbor’s driveway…. We put them in a jar on the kitchen window sill so we’ll have them when she comes back. But then, she always brings MORE treasures to leave. A little “love” for grandma and grandpa to find when she’s gone….

My favorite way to use them is in the spring/summer/fall….outdoors….fill some with sand and candles along the walkways…wrap with wire and place candle inside and hang in trees…catch fireflies with the grandbabies…use them for drinking…sand castle making…collect bottle tops on the outdoor bar…Ohhhh…how i LOVE mason jars!!!

  353. I once heard that its handy to nail the tops to the bottom of a shelf, and then put stuff in the jars and screw them into their lid, thus hanging them from the shelf. Seems pretty clever.

I love how they look with a candle inside (esp. blue), holding buttons, wildflowers, marbles, picnic utencils, lemonade with fresh lemon slices, and as a home for a goldfish or beta too! 🙂
    Blessings!

  441. I love using mason jars for all my son’s treasures. I have mason jars filled with the rocks that I would pull out of his little pockets when I did laundry, the marbles that he collected, and the special pine cones he would bring me. They started as his treasures and now they’re mine because they represent the little boy I will forever hold in my heart.

  442. I like to keep marbles in my mason jars — that way I know where they are when I lose them. My marbles that is!

  443. I love to put March Lilies, Forsythia bush, and/or Redbud blossoms in a Mason jar and set on my dining room table. To me, that is the first sign that spring really has “sprung.”

  444. I actually started using them to put a little piece of our family vacation in! Our daughter is 3 and when she was 2, we took our first family vacation to the beach. In the jar is sand and seashells that my daughter and I collected. Then I labeled the jar ‘Pawleys Island 2009’ w/ a piece of Scotch tape. I did the same in 2010, and I intend to continue over the years. They look so cute sitting next to each other on a shelf.

    I got the idea from Young House Love and then put my own spin on it. 🙂

  445. There is one in our guest room that has the Hersey’s Easter candy eggs in it. The spring colors and match quilt in the room perfectly!

  446. I love to layer a mason jar with ingredients for oatmeal chocolate chip cookies and give them away at Christmas time. It looks way cool and everyone likes cookies!

  447. Usually I put flowers in mason jars. Last summer, however, I had my first experience canning tomatoes. Now that it’s winter, I love, love, love the fact that I have garden tomatoes to use in recipes!! 🙂

  448. I don’t own real glasses; I just use mason jars. Most girls love it, and guys think I’m a little odd, but I love them. And flowers are delightful in them, as well as buttons, coffee beans, ribbons, pens, paintbrushes… You know, all the important stuff 🙂

  449. Being a science teacher, I always have little expirements going on around my classroom and home. Mason jars make the best containers for those expirements. Nothing is more beautiful in a mason jar than sugar and salt crystals. I have about five sitting on my windowsill right now filled with different colors of sugar crystals (rock candy!) and colored, perfumed bath salts.

  450. I use them for dry ingredients such as choc. chips, raisins, pasta, etc. But they really look pretty with wild flowers in at our cottage. Going to have to try the seashells and sand though.

  451. I was actually watching the food network one day, and I saw the lady fill up a mason jar with coffee and then put a simple candle in the middle and tied it with a bow. I definitly tried it and it makes the whole house smell like coffee! It was a great idea!

  452. I just saw the coolest thing on Etsy today using a mason jar as a light fixture… would look so cool hanging by our hottub!

  453. I absolutely love mason jars. I have several antique blue ones above my kitchen cabinets. I have put white christmas lights around them. They are so twinkly. I have them on a timer so they always turn on. Otherwise I would always forget. I love them! And I would love to win a necklace too!! Thanks for the chance! 🙂

  454. oh let’s see…one for colored pencils, one for makeup brushes, one for seashells, one for seaglass, one for skittles, one for change. the list could go on and on. i love mason jars and this necklace!

  455. I LOVE the way mason jars look with vibrant strawberry freezer jam in them and growing up we used them as cups!

  456. I love the jars & use them for all sorts of things. Right now in my kitchen I have one full of kosher salt, one full of mint sugar (mint was from my garden last summer), and one with chai tea mix. Have some filled with ribbon & buttons in my craft room. They come in handy for so many different things!

  457. We use them to keep our memories in. We’ve got one stuffed with ticket stubs, another with rocks collected from great-grandma’s rock bed, another with shells from our first time at the beach…you get the idea.

  458. And finally I have just started collected all those extra buttons we get with new clothes and all my fortunes from fortune cookies and putting them in a mason jar on my desk. Not sure why or how I came up with this, but makes s great little statement, I try to have some of the fortunes showing through glass

  459. I love to use a mason jar in my classroom (2nd Grade) to hold a Preying Mantis egg. I cover the jar with Saran Wrap and when the egg hatches, there are about 200 little Mantis’ that we take outside and free into the garden! 🙂

  462. I would love to fill mason jars with spring flower! They’re great to store little trinkets, and have such clean look. Hope to win 🙂

  463. The latest idea for great usage of mason jars was in my kids arts and crafts area. Using the shelf about the desk area I took the top lid of the jar and screwed it into the shelf. Then I filled the jars with buttons, stickers and other crafty things. The kids are able to twist and untwist the jar on their own and the jars hang from the lid. Cool huh?

  464. I use mason jars as picture frames. I put a photo inside the jar and it curves the photo slightly which adds a great feel to the photo. I have three jars lined up together, one with each of my four legged babies! It’s a great look

  465. Hi! I use Mason Jars to put candy in and give one to each of my fourth graders for his/her birthday. 🙂

  466. I also love to use mason jars to fill with dry ingredients needed to make cookies. I print out the recipe, string with ribbon, and tie around the top of the jar before sealing the top. It makes great gifts for teachers too.

  467. Sitting on the front porch swing, the sweat on the mason jar running through your fingers on a hot July day. The anticipation of your cool drink (lemonade or sweet tea) to refresh you from the inside out. Another great memory of a mason jar for me is watching my grandmother can green beans and pickles. She would just tell stories and sing songs. The magic of a mason jar 🙂

  468. I love to use the small ones to put my homemade hand scrubs in to give as a gift. Love all of your designs!

They lent a very magical and romantic candle lit glow to our celebration. I actually managed to find many vintage mason jars at thrift stores all over town for .50 to 1.00 each.
