      Use the Mason jars for dry different color beans, pasta noodles and my favorite is the dry ingredients to make cookies or brownies with a cookie cutter and a bow and place on a shelf! Also, I love to put candles in them. My mother in law uses them for drinking cups and I love that look.

      I have many uses for mason jars. Not only do I use them for canning each year, they are also used to store nuts and nails and screws in, I make recipe in a jar for gifts in them, I store seeds that I gather each year in them, I use them for drinking glasses, and have used them to put a mini terrarium in it. SO no I never throw them away. I even have the old green ones with porcelain lids

      I aslo love the guessing games where you just pour a bunch of jelly beans in and guess the right number to win. Cheap, easy to run & regulate, and all ages can play.

      I just acquired 300 canning jars. My daughter immediately went to the farmers market to get the ingredients to make her favorite pickles. I just purchased a book: Gifts in a jar.

      For a great outdoor look, take wire and wrap around the mouth of a mason jar and up and over to create a handle. place a tealight or votive candle in and hang outdoors.
