Ideas to Give Old Mason Jars A New Life

Everyone is guilty of having a "junk drawer." Typically filled with coins, twist ties, batteries, and other items. Get them out of your drawers and into the empty mason jars lined up in your kitchen. Or you can follow the trends and use them to turn your house into a bode of aesthetics. Mason jars are dominating the upcycling industry, offering countless opportunities for imaginative, practical, and environmentally beneficial applications. Let us explore some ways to recycle these adorable pieces of glassware and transform them into something useful.

Turn Them Into Illuminating Candle Holders

Love that dainty detailing in your room? Add a bit of flair to the room décor by turning a mason jar into a candle holder. Clean them off, remove the labels, and decorate the bedroom by placing tiny antique candles. You can even use them when you have a get-together for relatives or friends. It is a good alternative to your regular lights for dinner! Simply arrange some mason jars filled with candles on the table and enjoy your meal by candlelight.
