Mason jars are inexpensive, durable and trending. If you ask me they never really go out of style, but, instead, add a shabby-chic quality. When used for organization, thing are easily displayed and you know exactly what you have (or maybe what you need to get).
I’ve gathered the brilliants of different DIYers and created this conveniently located – all in one place – list for you to enjoy and be inspired by. Happy organizing!

MASON JAR TAG PRINTABLE
Download Mason Jar Tag Printable
1. Click on “Download Mason Jar Tag Printable”.
2. Print on thin card stock 8 1/2×11
3. Cut out using scissors or a 2 in. circle punch.
4. Be creative: jot down what’s in the jar or a little note, then glue it to the top of the mason jar lid or punch a hole in the tag and tie it around the neck of the jar.
OR MAYBE THIS: Use baskets to group the mason jars together for more organized storage in cupards and drawrs, or even on countertops. This would work great for sewing, crafting, office and kids art supplies. It will help give a polished look. If you want to leave the jars out in plain sight, a great way to add some color into your room is to paint the inside of the jar or maybe just the lid. Shoot, it’d look just as cute in the baskets too! Make the most of a smaller space by screwing the lids to the bottom of a shelf or attaching them to a piece of plywood with a metal pipe clamp and let the jars hang out to clear up so me counter space.
If YOU have any more ideas, let me know….I might need to do a Part 2.

So many fun ideas. Love the printable and the salad in a jar. I want to try that one for sure!
I keep my paintbrushes and glue sticks for my glue gun in mason jars right now, but I think you’ve inspired me to add them to every room in the house! I especially like the matches, spices, and toothpaste/toothbrush ideas! Very cute.
Aw! Thank you so much, you’ve made my day! I love mason jars and I’m so glad I could help inspire you to use them more!
Great ideas! I love Mason jars and use them a lot, but would have never thought about putting salad in a jar that way.

Me either, I thought that was absolutely genius and now it’s how I take my lunch to work!

Jaime, I don’t know, I just don’t know, but it is 100% true! Lol, thanks for reading!
Thanks so much for showing my mason jar matchbox. I adore mason jars too and have used them to organize (and beautify) my spice cupboard and to make a salad picnic lunch in and to hold bouquets of flowers. Great post.
