I picked up a bunch of clearance glass jars from various thrift stores last week. Each time I went to a new store, they got cheaper- so I just kept buying them! I found a few more great (great to me means super junky and super cheap) thrift stores is in town...so it was a very successful trip!
First off we have the hanging mason jar. I added a little bunting design around the top. (because if you couldn't tell...I love bunting right now) I had wire sitting around, and simply wrapped it around the lid and made a handle! Perfect!
I found the hanging piece on clearance at hobby lobby for just $.60! A coat of mod podge, doilies and extra paper made it just perfect!

If you have other jars laying around- try mod podging doilies, fabric or extra scrapbook paper around them! A pretty added touch!
Or mod podge the lid of a jar. This was a jelly jar I've had for a while. No need to purchase jars when you've got plenty in the fridge
And of course chalkboard labels! I love these things! You can simply use black contact paper too- it works great!!
Just a few jar ideas! Feel free to leave me comments with your own!! I've got plenty to work with!!!

These are so cute! I really really want to make some after looking at yours. I have seen lots lately, but yours have something special about them that makes me want to make them. I love the handle you created!
I use mine to hold my sharpies, watercolor pencils, and pens. A jar for each. The colors of the pens are decoration enough, but your chalk labels would be cute! :)
Thank you for the mason jar ideas. One of my Aunt's just gave me about 40 mason jars that I've been trying to figure out what to do with. Now I have a few more ideas.
love the ideas. mason jars are so great huh.

Mason jars are just empty jars right?!
Finally someone helpful in the empty jar/craft department. Been wondering what to do with a couple I have kicking around. It also makes me want to collect more (until my other half notices the mass hoarding)
This one looks lovely and I <3 the mini bunting
