What To Store In Mason Jars: Bathroom Ideas

Nothing beats a mason jar in terms of versatility, and canning and food storage are just the tip of the iceberg. Over the years I’ve used mason jars as flower vases, drink cups, coin banks, candy dishes, mixing bowls, measuring cups, and in all sorts of other ways.

While you can find plenty of ideas for what to store in mason jars in the kitchen, that isn’t the only place you can use them. Today we’ll be focusing on bathroom organization, and figuring out what to put in mason jars in the bathroom for functional storage that’s easy on the eyes.

I was inspired to write this post after coming across this cute set of glass jar bathroom accessories online. It comes with a soap dispenser, a jar for storing toothbrushes, and two smaller jars for cotton swabs or cotton balls. (If you’re not much of a DIYer, this is a great way to get the mason jar look without having to take on a project.)

So I started looking around the web for more bathroom jar ideas, and came away with a list of creative and practical ideas I can’t wait to share with you! I hope this list provides ample inspiration about what you can store in mason jars to improve your bathroom organization.

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

from Mason Jar Crafts

I couldn’t resist including this bathroom set as well — it’s one of my favorite bathroom jar ideas. White is one of my all-time favorite colors to decorate with, because it always brings a fresh and home-y feeling into a room. These mason jars were painted white and slightly distressed, and the finished product looks magazine-worthy!

4. Bathroom Organizer

from Modern Mom Life

Use mason jars to create additional storage that saves space and looks great too! This project turns a few mason jars, a few hose clamps, and an old palette into pretty and functional storage for toothbrushes, makeup brushes, and more. Isn’t it amazing what some wood and a few jars can do for your bathroom organization?

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.

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!
