I’ve previously posted about the amazing uses of baking soda.
I even wrote an ode to baking soda.
But baking soda isn’t the only one making a minimalist’s life easier.
Ladies and gentlemen, I’d like to introduce you to your newest friend:
MASON JARS!!!
And it’s only fair that I write another poem.
acrostic poem starring mason jars
Minimalists everywhere – you have a friend in me!
Arrange your freshly cut flowers for everyone to see
Store your bulk food, spices and leftovers nice and airtight
Organize your office supplies and keep them in sight
Nothing is too daunting for me!
Just think of all the possibilities!
Add a cuppow and turn me into a travel mug (if I get too hot, may I suggest a homemade shrug?)
Relax by candlelight – I’ll hold the tea light
Something tells me this was meant to be!
more great ideas
Here are some other cool things to do with mason jars:
- Create a DIY Magic Bullet – This worked with my sister’s blender!
- Turn them into beautiful hanging lanterns.
- Grow your own inexpensive sprouts.
- Bake yummy mini rainbow cakes or pies in a jar.
- Make a handy soap dispenser.
Mason jars come in all different sizes and are available at hardware stores, thrift stores and garage sales. Or you can use jam or pasta sauce jars . . . after you eat what’s in them of course!
Are you a fan of mason jars? How do you use them?
Sandra, you never cease to amaze me..
Hopefully enough to make you a mason jar convert!
One more witty post!!!!!!!
I totally want a cuppow!
If I didn’t already have a travel mug, I’d want one too!
We’ve recently connected with the minimalist couple who inspired us to start living this way. We have been swapping funny stories, more than anything, and the first thing they talked about was that wine tastes best from a mason jar! I, of course, had to agree, especially with mulled wine.
P.S. Have you read the latest post on MM?
I did! Lagom goes mainstream! (At least in our little world.)
Another great use for mason jars – eliminates the need for specialty glassware!
