6. Use it as a photo frame.
Regular picture frames are great decor, but placing your photos inside a jar is an even more homemade way to store the memory.
Whether you make them with vegetable oil and dried flowers like on this craft blog, you just stick a photo in that fits well, it won’t take you longer than 5 minutes to make.
7. Or make a fireproof matchbox.
This easy hack is a brilliant way to start your campfire, and also as a method of storing your matches in the rain.
Begin by cutting a piece of sandpaper to the size of the mason lid, and then paste it on. You’ll also want to cut a small hole in the side of the lid to allow matches to come out.

8. Fill it up and use it as a drink tumbler.
These will help prevent spillage, and allow you to enjoy your favorite beverages no matter where you go.
All you’ll need is a hole poked through the lid, with a perfectly fitting straw and a small, rubber grommet.
Here’s a simple DIY method to create the tumbler.
9. Fill them up with items from your trip for a memorable 3-D time capsule.
There are a lot of people who love making terrariums for a hobby, but you can also craft this memorable way to scrapbook your adventures.
Start with a mason jar, and add small, natural items to it along the way. Whether it’s sand from the beach or rocks by your camping site, the jar will begin to fill up quickly as you document your trip.
10. Turn them into an all-natural air freshener.
Cut up natural fruits like lemons and oranges, then place them in a pot, followed by herbs, spices, and any other extracts.
Fill it with water until the pot’s about 3/4 way full, and allow it to boil.
Right after it reaches boiling point, turn it down and allow it to simmer, before pouring it into these mason jars.
This contraption will make your RV smell like heaven for days.
