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 like how you lined up the jars on the window sill! And the banner underneath, it’s very cool! It all looks so 4th of July!
I use mason jars to display shells. They are perfect for protecting them as well.
Love your aqua mason jars. I collect them too. I especially like them on your windowsill. The light shining through would be so lovely.
Oh I’m so high fivin’ ya right now. LOVE the aqua jars as well. Doesn’t hurt that the colour is the hottest in decortown these days either. 🙂
My fav thing to do with them is ensure they’re in front of a window like some of yours, to allow that beautiful tone to illuminate your space. Lovely!

So pretty! We have some of those jars, too. I just did a post on them recently. We put rocks and shells from the beach in ours.
I LOVE the wire basket full of jars. I like mason jars too but the aqua ones are my favorite. Very cute!
i’m drooling… i LOVE those jars! i found one a couple of weekends ago for $2 and i wanted to give the guy a bear hug! :o)
I really like the photo of the jars all lined up on your windowsill. Very pretty!
You’re lucky to find blue jars for $3 or $4. I can’t find them for less than $12 in Idaho.
I love your collection of jars. I have some around my house also. But your wire basket is calling my name! Oh goodness, what a find. If you ever tire of it, you let me know 🙂
I love mason jars! We use them to store sea shells and sea glass in our house.
I use mason jars all over the house for all different purposes. I have one gorgeous aqua one (I think it says atlas and has a glass lid too) from my hubby’s granparents. Iti smy favorite and I am on the hunt for more!
Stopping by from Rhoda’s …. Love your jars. I have several, but have never really been sure how to use them. What great ideas!
I love them too. But, My MIL still makes jelly and pickles and such with them so all of them have to go to her. I do have 1 larger than normal 1 in aqua that is for display. 🙂
I just love old jars and have several myself. They are so fun to decorate with and I love how you use yours ;0)
I collect blue Mason jars and it’s everywhere! I’m a crafter and I put buttons in blue jars ( tall ones). Also in my kitchen, I put several spices and baking soda/powder in blue ones. I love it. I remembered that I kept finding it from garage sale and friends giving it away. I had to grab SOME.. not one 🙂 Love your blog!
