5 Creative Uses for Canning Jars in the Bathroom

1. Display your bath salts.
Fill canning jars with assorted bath salts and scrubs. They will not only stay safe and be at your fingertips, but they look quite decorative as well.

2. Make your own luminaries.
Do you love to take relaxing baths by candle light? Place a little sand in the bottom of a canning jar and then place a votive or tea light candle it in. The flame will reflect on the glass and the whole room will light up! It is a wonderful way to add some instant ambiance. If you want, you can even use battery operated votives.

3. Keep cotton balls safe.
Canning jars are perfect for keeping your cotton balls and cotton swabs safe. You can even leave the jars on the counter and they look decorative. Plus, they will always stay dry. While you are at it, fill one with make up remover pads too. For an extra decorative touch, you can place labels on the front.

4. Organize your hair ties.
Keep your hair bands and barrettes safely stored in a canning jar. Some are even large enough to stash away travel size toiletries such as shampoo and hair spray. The clear glass will make it easy to see what’s inside so you can dig out exactly what you need. You can even give each family member their own jar for safe keeping complete with a decorative label.

5. Make mini trash cans.
Keep a canning jar on the bathroom counter for make up remover pads, tissues, and other small trash items. While taking off make up or doing a facial they are perfect for tucking small pieces away. When done, just empty and rinse and you are ready to go again.
