I love love LOVE mason jars! They are so freakin cute. I use them for everything! For all of my events, I use them to decorate for toppings, drinks, and vases. You can find them at any thrift store (which is where I usually get them) OR any grocery or retail store outlet. I’ve seen them at Smart&Final, Albertsons, Food for Less, Wal-mart, or Target. AND, they’re pretty cheap… only about $9.99 for a dozen. Not too shabby.
Here are some of the cutest and most clever ways to use an old mason jar. Some of these are so awesome, I wish I came up with them myself.
Brilliant, for individual sized drinks from the blender:

These awesome cupcakes in a jar from the fabulous Cakies Blog…I follow her ALL the time. One of my favorite blogs :]
For special events: I love all of these wedding inspirations. I especially LOVE the bottom right one. You can use them for a sign-in table and it doubles as their drink cup! I can’t even tell you how fantastic that is.

I know! it’s amazing how people can come up with these things! so clever. And if you can use one things for 3 different purposes, thats pretty much the best things ever
I agree dude, those mason jars as name “cards” AND drink glasses are awesome. Plus, they triple as favors!
I, too, must confess my passionate love for mason jars! This is a great post for giving you lots of different ideas of mason jar crafts! I especially enjoy the super cute wedding idea that you pointed out–using the labeled jars as your guests’ drink cups. Adorable and green!
