    All sizes and colors of Christmas ornaments and then on your mantel or in a bookcase, if you have them. Change it out with the seasons. Fall: pine cones and berries; Spring: dried flowers; Summer: seashells and so forth.

    Where to begin... Vintage Christmas ornaments with tiny fairy lights twined between them; small vintage toys; ribbon candy; fill with M&M's, and have everyone guess how many it holds; winner gets a little gift; fill with small, wrapped surprises for guests...this is fun! Glad you asked! 😀

  • Jean Jean on Nov 01, 2016
    I have three of these 'types' of big glass jars - one holds my mother's matchbook collection (large mason jar with handle), one holds my seashell collection (large Libby glass piggy bank), and one holds my beach glass collection (old Italian water bottle, tulip shaped with wide mouth). Doesn't have to be gorgeous but it's handy for a pretty or interesting collection.

    Put a large vessel or something, in the center. That is the same height, and can still screw cap back on. Then you don't need as much filler. You can change it out seasonally. You could even wad up newspaper, or a roll of paper towels. Anything to take up space in the center, and fill around it. For Thanksgiving/fall, put a vase in the center, fill around the vase with acorns, pinecones, leaves, popcorn.. etc. Fill the vase with water and add flowers if you want to.or dried sticks wrapped with fairies lights. Just have fun, and try a lot of things. I would make sure that any lights you put in it are LED. For Christmas, you could, you could put a little winter scene in it....

    Put a string of mini lights mixed with greenery for Christmas or a plastic garland of fall leaves for a fall decoration. Silk flowers would work with the mini lights for a spring and/or summer display.
  • DB DB on Nov 01, 2016

    I bought containers of bright, plastic mini Christmas tree decorations in red and gold, mixed them together and put them into a crystal bowl for a table centerpiece. Their bright finish picks up the light. They'd look festive in your jar, too.

  • Ki'ihele West Ki'ihele West on Nov 01, 2016
    I put glass pebbles in the bottom, then filled it with silk flowers, topped it with straw flowers and added a couple of long pussywillows. I then wrapped a raffia band around and glued some sea shells to the band... Since I live in Hawai'i my flowers are red hibiscus, but any flower or color would do. Perfect for a " beachy" look.
  • Sherryll Sherryll on Nov 01, 2016
    S.W. Chariton, Iowa I like Hula4ewa's answer and change out the flowers to fit the seasons. Then, when Christmas comes, take out the flowers and put in strings of mini lights with some round ornaments, with the cord hanging down the back to plug in.
  • Elaine Elaine on Nov 01, 2016
    It depends on your decorating style, Dawn, and where you plan to place the jar. If you're into "country" and have a fireplace, it could look nice filled with just pinecones and acorns and place on the hearth. Don't add any "do-dads" and make it cute-sy. I see, from your photo, you are a young woman so you don't want anything too granny-ish. And to any grannies out there, no offense; I'm a granny too! lol! If you have room on your kitchen counter, a very smart Martha-look is fill it with old cookie cutters. The trick in decor is to sort of keep to ONE theme so it looks smart. For Christmas, adding tiny, tiny fairy-lights would look nice and festive for the season. I hope you like these ideas.

    • Elaine Elaine on Nov 01, 2016
      I forgot to mention, only "metal" (not plastic) and if Dawn never actually uses them, the rustier and beat-up, the better. lol! I love ...and live to decorate!
  • Elaine Elaine on Nov 01, 2016
    PS: whatever it is you choose to do, keep it simple and restrained - it will look way more sophisticated (even though it is a mason jar) and quite cool!
  • D. D. on Nov 01, 2016

I put in an old pencil from the feed store, grandad's eyeglasses and a half dozen boles of cotton. Sits beside his picture with his favorite mule in harness, ready to plow.
  • Linda Davis Linda Davis on Nov 01, 2016
    Did a granny sew? How about some fabric scraps, wooden spools of thread, and some old sewing notions. Or some old wooden blocks, diaper pins, rattles,.....snack bars of some kind, peanut butter crackers, or individual bags of chips, tea bags,....on table or counter....

  • Barb Greenfeder Barb Greenfeder on Nov 01, 2016
    Depends on your decor but think about an older look of tea dyed small material pieces (or use one large piece) with ribbons, spools, tiny sewing kits, etc. placed so they can be seen; or simply add cotton bolls or other items from nature. I've seen sea shells, dice, coins, small wooden alphabet blocks, plastic toys, sand, pea gravel, costume jewelry, clothespins, poker chips, even useful office supplies. The size is your only limit! Have fun and personalize it!

    cinnamon sticks broken up or crushed , melt a candle onto a small lid or metal cap set in the middle of the jar, put crushed cinnamon in the bottom covering lid or cap and bottom of the jar, wrap a ribbon around the top , makes a scented centerpiece for your kitchen. hot water will melt the candle wax when you want to replace the candle, or want to use it for something else.
  • Carol Ann Leitch Fuller Carol Ann Leitch Fuller on Nov 02, 2016
    If you have an area that could use a "beachy" theme. It would be nice to have sand in the bottom about half way up and then fill with shells, starfish, and driftwood that you have gathered. Just keep removing the sand as you get more and more shells on top. The sand will fill up the bottom half until you have enough shells to fill it up!

    For thanksgiving, use corn kernels or wild rice and nestle a pillar candle. I have large apothecary jars that I decorate every season with…candy hearts, baseballs, shells, fake snow with deer with tiny led lights, bird's nests with a (felt)bird, acorns, spools of thread, etc…create mini scenes…have fun! The options are endless!
  • Mary Greenfield Mary Greenfield on Nov 03, 2016
    I can not take credit for this but I have a large mason jar is filled with potpourri and a string of clear Christmas lights. The top is covered with a crocheted doily secured with ribbon. The lights I have just get warm (not hot) and it smells great. I change out the potpourri every now and then or sometimes refresh it with liquid potpourri ... usually when the lights burn out. Makes a great night light also in your kitchen or hallway or bathroom. I move mine around.
  • Elizabeth Roy Elizabeth Roy on Nov 04, 2016

  • Melinda Melinda on Dec 30, 2016

    I think it would make awesome lamp base. Could paint glass a pretty or neutral color. Use twine rope burlap something rustic to cover lamp wiring inside if u keep glass clear. Also sand and shells inside instead of flowers.

    Shred newspaper, junk mail, etc. add wter and school glue and shape into various sized balls. Paint the individual balls in various colors, let dry and then add to your Mason jar. You can paint the paper balls to contrast/coordinate with your home decor. Pretty much a "free" addition.
