Mason jars come in a wide variety of sizes, can be found at most big grocery stores, and are relatively inexpensive. Best of all, these jars can serve many different purposes – from being used as decorative items to relying on them for their intended purpose of preserving foods and herbs.

Some ways individuals can use mason jars around a home include:

• Painting them using acrylic paint and using them as vases for fresh flowers
• Using them are storage containers for dry goods, such as rice
• Transforming them into a bathroom essential by drilling a hole into the lid and fitting a soap dispenser pump through it, making your mason jar perfect for dispensing either soaps or lotions
• Decoupaging fall leaves onto mason jars for a year-long reminder of autumn
• Replacing a broken blender container with a mason jar, since most blender blades fit into them
