Learn some more clever repurposing mason jar ideas.

Canning season is upon us and that means you are inspecting your mason jars for wear and tear and taking those jars out of your rotation. In addition, it’s common to have way more jars than needed as garden harvests tend to ebb and flow over the years. That means you always have a supply of extra mason jars and are on the lookout for mason jar ideas. If you aren’t a canner with a supply of your own jars, then this is the time of year where it is easy to find mason jars at yard sales and thrift stores.

Mason jars are seriously one of the world’s most useful and versatile inventions. In our home we use them for food preservation, both canning and freezing (as an alternative to plastics containing BPA), and as many other uses as I can dream up. They make great catch all containers, change jars, pencil and paintbrush cups, but there’s so many more mason jar ideas.

Of course, there are so many more clever and unique uses out there for mason jars than those mundane uses.
