Way to use mason jars

Mason jars have been a popular glassware option for a while now. Despite being invented with the sole purpose of canning in mind, there are many Mason jar uses. These glasses have been popular drinking vessels for decades, but their surprising uses go way beyond just a drinking glass. 

1. Store Produce:

Mason jars are excellent for storing produce for multiple reasons, primarily because they are made of glass. Glass is non-porous, so it does not absorb the flavors of the food it comes in contact with. With Mason jars, you can store any and all produce – cooked or raw – without reservation. 

Mason jars are also helpful for those trying to maintain an organized refrigerator. Toss your green beans in a Mason jar, set it on the refrigerator shelf and you’ve got yourself an orderly way to keep tabs on your produce. Transparency is a plus, too, so you’ll always know exactly what you have inside the jar and how fresh it is. 

2. Arrange Flowers:

Mason jars possess both style and a rustic appearance, which make them perfect as vases or even storage. 

The pairing of this everyday item with wild flowers (or even just a few stems of your favorite blossoms) looks great. Start using Mason jars as vases and treat yourself to a home brimming with greenery.

There is no denying it, Mason jars have an elegant design, making them favorites for dealing with desktop clutter.

3. Homemade Gifts:

Homemade gifts are always welcome and always look even more charming when they're presented in a Mason jar.   

DIY baking mixes are ideal for Mason jars. By layering the dry ingredients required for a bake (flour, sugar, cocoa powder or cinnamon) in a mason jar, your cookies will look tasty baked or unbaked.

4. Mason Jar Salad:

With Mason jars, you can fashion yourself gorgeous layered salads that actually make you excited to eat lunch at your desk. Mason jars make DIY salad dressing a breeze. Just pour your ingredients in and shake to emulsify.

5. Make Lights:

Mason jars make elegant and unique lighting features. If you are having a dinner party, dine outdoors on a regular basis or are just looking to add a little ambiance to your home, mason jar lights are a great DIY project for you. 

To construct, pour a bit of sand into the base of a Mason jar. Then set a tealight or votive candle on top of the sand. The sand will hold the candle in place and will act as a barrier between the candle’s base and the glass jar. Your guests will be impressed
