I was curious as to other ways people use mason jars, and after a quick search I realized that the possibilities are really endless. Here are my favorite 5 ways to use a mason jar:

We just used them as lemonade glasses at a baby shower I helped host. They are sooo cute! And now I have a dozen at home to use for other things like those you posted!

I love this post! I also love that mason jars are so useful and are becoming so shabby chic. My grandma used to can her own vegetables from her garden, so for the longest time I only saw them as canning jars. But it's so fun to see what all they can be used for!
