Kitchen Cabinet Clutter Will Be A Thing Of The Past With This Mason Jar Hack

When you cook and bake frequently, your kitchen cabinets can quickly become cluttered with utensils and supplies. Thankfully, mason jars are here to help. These glass jars are perfect for neatly storing and organizing your kitchen essentials. Since they come in so many different sizes, you should be able to find the right jar for whatever you're trying to organize. Try keeping piping bags or containers of sprinkles inside a big jar, or using a small jar to hold your toothpicks. 

Additionally, you can use large mason jars as utensil holders to keep your spatulas and serving spoons neat and out of the way. For bakers who are sick of their muffin or cupcake tin liners falling everywhere when they open their cabinets, this mason jar hack will also fix the problem. You could simply stack all the liners inside a larger jar, or use a few small mason jars to sort them by style or color. 

Not only are mason jars great for storing loose items like cupcake wrappers, but they can also be used to store your roasting twine. Just make a hole in the lid of the jar and place the roll of twine inside with the end sticking out of the hole. mason jars are also a wonderful option for organizing the dry goods cluttering your kitchen cabinets since they can make it harder for insects like pantry weevils to snack on your flour or dried pasta. To use them this way, find jars that are the right size to fit each of your dry ingredients. Now, you can pour your beans, sugar, or other foods into the jars and dispose of their original containers. With this organization hack, your kitchen cabinets will be free of clutter and easier to use.

You can find mason jars at most grocery stores, or try reusing old glass jars from around your house. If you don't have the right size, Amazon has these packs of two 32-ounce mason jars for $10, which would be a good size for storing utensils, holding dry goods, or keeping your cupcake liners and baking supplies neat. This six-pack of 16-ounce mason jars from Amazon ($17) would also be a good option for storing your twine and if you need something to hold your toothpicks, try a smaller container, like this four-pack of 5-oz jars ($15 on Amazon). 

Once your jars are neatly packed with the items from your cluttered cabinet, try placing the items you use most at the front of the shelves. You might also want to label your jars with chalkboard labels ($4 at Michaels).
