Mason Jar Spill Proof Cups

I love the idea of taking mason jars and turning them into spill-proof cups . Visit The Chick n Coop, where you will find a comprehensive tutorial showing you how to make your own Mason Jar Spill-Proof Cups.

The only change that I would make to this system is to use Stainless Steel Straws because I prefer to use reuseable items rather items that have to be replaced.

    Make some of these for my son & his friends this weekend. Great way to put to use some jars & other things I’d normally throw out!

    I tried using the rubber grommets and had a problem finding straws that would easily go through the hole. I drilled a hole and then took a tapered drill bit and hit it with a hammer a few times to get the size of the hole just right. I am very happy with the finished product! Very cute! 🙂

    I’m liking this idea way much! So much, I’m heading off to write a blog post about it before I even make it. How’s that for lazy? Now I blog about the things I HAVEN’T done!

    Isn’t the point of the spill-proof cup that it’s won’t spill if it is, um, DROPPED?

      We tend to have more cups knocked over rather than dropped. We use glass glasses and haven’t had one broken. My children were nursed, but when they did have a bottle I used glass bottles and never had one break.

      I don’t intend to use these just for kids. We live in the country, so a cup with a lid keeps flies and dust out of our drinks when we dine outside.

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
