Decorating with Aqua Mason Jars
One of my favorite decorating tips, is to use Aqua Mason Jars. I have been pretty lucky to have found most of the ones I use, because they can be a little pricey, sometimes $3 or $4 each. During the Summer, my Father-in-law sold his farm and the family was lucky enough to choose what we wanted. I’ve shared my Chicken Feeder with you, and the little tricycle too. We also brought back quite a few jars, mostly the Aqua Mason Jars, but also some others.
I found this wire basket in the barn, at my Father-in-laws, and lots of different sizes of jars.
On the windowsill in my Dining Room, I fill them with a candle…
And on the table to hold ivy and grass from the yard…
And even in our Bathroom, to hold Q-tips, Band-Aids and Cotton Balls.
Even if you don’t have the Aqua Mason Jars, using any shape or size jar adds a little character to your decorating as well as being pretty frugal too.
Do you decorate with mason jars? Which are your favorites?

I just love those aqua mason jars. They are so pretty and bring back such good memories for me.
I love mason jars I use them for everything! The aqua of course are the best!
First of all I love that basket. But most of all I love blue jars!! Yours are lovely!! I was at an antique mall yesterday browsing and I realized if I could I would spend every last penny I had on blue jars. They make me weak in the knees….
I love your wire basket and the canning jars are wonderful. You displayed them so nicely!

That is some great ideas to use mason jars. I have a gallon size jar that I keep my spaghetti in.
That basket is wonderful. Looks like an egg basket?
@Tammy @ Not Just Paper and Glue, It might be an egg basket Tammy, I’m not really sure. I love it though 🙂

How beautiful!! I love how you used the Aqua Mason jars for decorating!
You have them displayed so beautifully. I love mine and may I suggest not burning the candles while in the jars. I did that one time when the power was out and it broke the glass. If I had put some beach sand or pebbles in the bottom first maybe they wouldn’t have broken. I now only have two left which I have displayed (empty) on a shelf in my dining room. Thank you for showing us yours.
I love this!! They are so pretty aren’t they?
Thanks for sharing!

I love Aqua Mason Jars! I just received some from my grandmother’s estate, and I can’t wait to put them to good use! 🙂
