2. Bathroom Set
from The Country Chic Cottage
I love this mason jar bathroom set. The burlap accent is a nice touch, and you could use the jars to store just about anything you need!
3. White Bathroom Set

I couldn’t resist including this bathroom set as well — it’s one of my favorite bathroom jar ideas.

5. Tissue Holder
from Landeelu
I try to eliminate cardboard packaging wherever possible, just because I think things look a lot nicer when stored in glass or other materials. So this mason jar tissue holder is right up my alley! The tissues pull out from the top just like a tissue box, but the jar makes the whole affair much prettier, in my opinion. :-)
6. Cotton Balls & Swabs
from Hip2Save
This is less of a project and more of a method, but it’s pretty clever all the same. Store cotton balls in your favorite mason jar, then place a glass candle votive in the opening to store cotton swabs. The votive looks like it fits perfectly in the jar, and it’s pretty enough to display on your bathroom counter!
If you can’t find a candle votive that fits as well as the one in the photo, you can buy this insert online. It’s designed to fit in a mason jar, so you won’t have to worry about it not fitting right.
7. Pickle Jar Storage
from Eighteen25
If you don’t have a collection of mason jars just sitting around waiting to be used, never fear! You can upcycle a few empty pickle jars into cute storage jars that will look great in any bathroom. I just love how the knobs look on top of the colorful jar lids!
8. Toothbrush Storage
from Lolly Jane
Here’s another mason jar and hose clamp project, but this one fits right under the bathroom mirror. It’s perfect for toothbrush storage, and everyone can have their very own jar. It’s perfect for kids; they’ll love having their very own jar to keep their toothbrush and toothpaste in.
9. Makeup & Brushes

From looking at this site, apparently your thinking is that nobody uses canning jars any more. Must be the area you live in or the mind set of the people in your area.’ I live there are many people that still can and freeze food. One can make jams and jellies, can vegetables and or fruit, make pickles. I for one, make pickles, can tomatoes and ‘my husband enjoys making jelly. There are several in the area I live in that do this type of thing. I also freeze some vegetables and fruits.

Those are really cute, but I don’t like glass in the bathroom. I guess it stems from my Grandma and no glass around her pool. Same concept-no glass in an area of bare feet. If there were plastic Mason jars, I’d be willing to try some of these ideas.

I opened my doors under the sink and found everything soaked and molded! Lost a lot of Q-tips, bandages, etc… If on they had been stored in glass jars.
