12 Brilliant Ways to Repurpose Your Mason Jars

If there a few things that collectively define a Southerner, I'd dare to say that Mason jars are right up there with casseroles and SEC football. After weekends spent whipping up Dad's famous pear preserves, my family at least is guaranteed to have dozens of Mason jars laying around just begging to be crafted into something beautiful, and/or fall prey to my latest Pinterest project. These pretty and practical jars hold the solution to all of your organizational needs. Makeup brushes need a home? Mason jar. Craving an herb garden by the window? Mason jar. Your old tissue box just isn't doing it for you anymore? You guessed it—Mason jar. The best news? In a world full of Pinterest projects gone wrong, most of the time there is literally no way to mess up Mason jar crafts. These simple projects are no match for a determined do-it-yourselfer with a can of chalk paint in one hand and a cup of sweet tea in the other. We've poured over pages and pages of Pinterest (hey, somebody had to do it!) to round up the very best Mason jar crafts out there. Craft now, and thank us later.
