DIY Mason Jar Table Centerpieces

I am love, love, loving this journey of making our house a home. And today I want to share with you how to make my DIY mason jar table centerpieces.

During dinner one night, I unscrewed the Himalayan Salt Mason Jar lid, grabbed a few pinches, threw it over my meal and then re-capped the lid. When I was finished, Ryan commented, “Why don’t you put this up on your blog?”

“What do you mean?” I replied.

He said, “How and what you put in these jars, and why you do it. I don’t think it’s something everyone does or would think to do.”

Maybe it’s just me, but I thought this was common – that everyone thinks to entertain function meeting fashion.

But just in case you don’t, I decided to heed Ryan’s advice(seriously, wife of the month) and share with you what I did.

Set of 6 Mason Jars in a Holder

Last fall, my mother-in-law sent me the set of 6 Mason Jars (with no lid) in the black-framed holder. It was for fall, so along with it came rocks, flowers and other fall table decorations. We enjoyed it all season long.

Once the holidays came, I swapped the fall decorations for miniature Christmas trees and ornaments. And we enjoyed that all season long as well.

But after the holidays, I got really ~~obsessed~~ – um, excited – about turning this city farmhouse into a home, with as much farmhouse style and inspiration as possible. And yet, when it comes to the kitchen, I am very practical and do the best I can with having fashion meet function.

How many times have you sat down for a meal and almost immediately after had to get back up because you forgot the salt? Right?!

So that was the first thing I did….placed my Himalayan Salt into a Mason Jar, and over the course of planning for ultimate SIBO healing, added some other crucial things. This is what is in each of my 6 jars currently:

Himalayan Salt, fine
Himalayan Salt, full
Moringa
Turmeric
Raw Walnuts
Nutritional Yeast

Making them Pretty

The Mason Jars my mother-in-law sent didn’t have lids, so I used my own lids, but shortly after, I thought they looked ugly, dull and boring. To transform the lids I did two simple steps:

Painted them in Annie Sloan’s Old White Chalk Paint
Topped them with little flower magnets I got from Michaels (look in the aisle right now that has Mason Jars + decorations for them)

You only need minimal paint, and the magnets were $1.99/each. This project can easily be done on the cheap.
