I recently purchased a couple more vintage blue mason jars. The vintage ones can have such character to them.
Here are some ways that I like to use and decorate with them:
A utensil holder. Very handy when serving buffet style meals.
A votive candle inside with a small grapevine wreath used as a candle ring.
In this picture, you can see small bubble-like marks on the jar...character!
This particular jar also has the vintage one piece lid. Inside are seashells that were collected from a beach vacation.
Inside this lantern is a vintage blue mason jar and some faux berries.
(Sorry...I tried taking this pictures at different angles, but kept getting a glare.)
I have a light kit made for mason jars. I like to mix up the shades:
Using a punched tin shade gives a country look.
I made this lamp shade with a toile print. It has a french country look to it.
Here is a vintage blue mason jar with a simple, cream colored, store bought lamp shade.

Those blue jars are so pretty! I've found some mason jars at thrift stores but never any blue ones. Love the shells. :)
ReplyDeleteDee,
DeleteI have found the blue ones at yard sales, antique stores, and my Mom has given me a couple. Some places have them marked too high...if you look in the right places, you can get one for under $10.
