Large Glass Jar Decorating Ideas
Today's post is an ode to one of my very favorite kitchen items: the humble glass jar. Whether it's a traditional mason jar or a repurposed pickle jar, I just can't seem to stop looking for new ways to use and reuse them. I've actually written about glass jars quite a bit over the years! I've used them in DIYs, recipes, health tips, home decor projects, and much more. So I thought it would be fun to revisit some of those old posts, to remind myself (and you, of course!) of just how useful those little glass jars can be. :-)
If you have a favorite way to use glass jars that isn't listed here, I'd love to hear all about it. Leave a comment at the bottom of the post and we'll keep the conversation going!
13 Brilliant Ways To Use (Or Reuse) A Glass Jar
1. Put A Spout On It
This is one of my all-time favorite mason jar projects, because it's so easy. And it's really useful too! You simply cut the pour-top off of a carton of juice, and slap it on top of a spare mason jar. Then just screw a canning ring on to keep the pour-top in place, and voila! You have the world's easiest pour-top dispenser. (For more specific details and instructions, see the full post at the link below.)

3. Marinate Meat
Have you ever used a mason jar to marinate meat? I highly recommend giving it a try! It's a great way to really infuse the flavor of the marinade into the meat. And you can wash and reuse the jar afterwards, so it's less wasteful than using a ziplock bag. Get all the details at the full post below.

4. Make A Soap Dispenser
Speaking of wasteful, think of all the plastic that could goes into making hand soap bottles. When they're empty, a lot of people just toss theirs in the trash and buy a new one. Instead, why not make your own soap dispenser jar top? They're easy to make, and much less wasteful! Get the details at the link below.

9. Stop Snoring
If you or someone you love is a snorer, give my homemade snore relief gel a try. I like to store it in a mason jar so I can cap and un-cap it as needed. The gel itself contains natural essential oils that can help provide relief to snorers (and their bedmates, of course!) Learn how to make it at the link below.
