MASON JARS Archives - Everyday Edits

I finally jumped into mason jars and plumbing parts. That’s what happens when you have a Hallmark movie marathon and need a project during the commercials. Until this mason jar project I had never ventured into the plumbing section at Home Depot. And I am so excited to share how to make vertical mason jars for a wall!

It was an empowering experience.

Vertical Mason Jars Supply List

The best part of these vertical mason jars was the supply list. It required just a few parts from the plumbing aisle. And, they were easily identifiable and in clearly marked bins. The only thing you need to decide before you get to the plumbing aisle is what size mason jars you want to use for your vertical mason jars for the wall. That’s it!

Mason jars
scrap lumber (pine)
plumbing clamps
and a drill

The scrap lumber is literally the anchor of this project. I had the mason jars and the scrap piece of lumber (the vertical part) on hand.

I used a scrap piece of wood that fit the intended wall in my kitchen. Followed, by this stain.

I eyeballed the spacing between the mason jars and attached the clamps to the scrap lumber with small screws.

The only power tool needed was a drill to tighten the clamps to the mason jars. I bet a screwdriver would work too!

This was such a fun, easy project.

The trickiest part was I added the empty mason jars and tightened the clamp BEFORE I added the gravel,.

I suggest adding the soil or filler before securing the jars to the board. Trust me!

Here’s the supply list needed to add vertical mason jars to a wall.

The ideas are limitless and I might add something to my home office.

I added greenery for Christmas and it’s a fun pop of color along a wall that looks down on the dog bowls!

And, I love the contrast between the blue curtains in the background.

Thank you for stopping by today!

Here is a fun, easy idea for your home or a hostess gift. I almost always give candles as hostess gifts for parties during the year. And, I fell in love with the concept of old school matches. There is something about a match striking the strike paper. Let there be light! This simple add on, or the wingman to candles, requires mason jars and matches! That’s it!

So it only made sense that I combined mason jars and matches for this fun gift idea or bathroom accessory.

Scroll to the bottom of this post for the matches printable. No fancy paper or printer required.

I purchased a 3 pack of the small matchstick boxes at the grocery store.The boxed matches are located in the seasonal/holiday aisle at Kroger. I used the small, short mason jars because the matches fit perfectly into the short jar. If the lid doesn’t secure to the jar just remove a few matches to get a tighter fit.

For the striking papers, I cut out the strike paper from the boxed matches and taped it to the bottom of the mason jars. Velcro works too if you have a few of those in a drawer. Don’t we all have miscellaneous pom poms and velcro in our junk drawers?
