Fall is quickly approaching and if you have a garden, it's almost time to pull out those mason jars! 

Here are a few ideas for using mason jars for organizing small unruly items:

-In the bathroom for cotton balls, q-tips, make up sponges, and make up brushes
-For art supplies such as crayons, pom poms, and buttons
-In the kitchen for cooking utensils on the counter
-In the pantry for pasta, rice, oatmeal, and quinoa
-In the office as a pencil holder
-For cupcake wrappers
-In the bathroom as a toothbrush holder
-In the kitchen for spices
-In the workshop for screws, nails, and nuts/bolts
-For sewing supplies like spools of thread, needles, and ribbons
-As a match holder with a piece of sand paper secured above the lid for striking
-As a keepsake holder
-In the basement for leftover paint

My absolute favorite way to store screws, nails and bolts is by suspending jars to the underside of a shelf.  How, do you ask?  Simply drill a hole in the metal lid and use a screw it attach it to the underside of a shelf, add contents to the jar, and reattach the jar to the lid.  Voila!  A storage solution without taking up a single square inch of shelf space.
