The Genius Way To Reuse Mason Jar Rings To Elevate The Look Of Your Curtains

When it comes to curtain tiebacks, we often gravitate towards rope, fabric, or cords. But we're adding a surprising material into the mix: Mason jar lids. A humble home staple container used for canning and preserving food, Mason jar lids can be repurposed in clever ways for the home and garden. Reusing them to elevate the look of your curtains further showcases their usefulness and versatility.

With its circular opening and sturdy metal frame, the Mason jar lid offers many creative possibilities as a curtain tieback. We especially love the fact that it can be customized to harmonize with a room's aesthetic with a lot of room for personalization. As they're affordable and easy to source (you can get a pack of 24 lids for $14), you can come up with different tiebacks for every season or occasion. Whether you spruce the Mason jar lids to match or contrast your existing curtains, they'll surely add an elevated, bespoke touch to your stylish window treatments. 

A straightforward way of using a Mason jar lid as a curtain tieback is by pulling the curtains through its opening and styling it with a simple ribbon of your choice. Alternatively, you can wrap the entire ring in different textiles like jacquard weave, linen, silk, or velvet for textural depth, or to simply match your existing curtains. Wrapping the ring in rope or raffia will tie in nicely with a cottagecore décor theme. Weave in some colored beads or several rustic Highbix Shabby Chic Cone and Cylinder Bells to complement a farmhouse, Bohemian, or coastal aesthetic. 

Customizing the lids according to season is another way to add a personalized touch to your interiors. Play with seasonal colors when styling your Mason jar rings: Go for blues and greens in the summer, earthy browns and oranges in the fall, or tuck a sprig of berries into your ribbon-wrapped lid in springtime. Decorate them with orange or black tulle during Halloween, or weave red and white ribbons around them for a Christmas theme, sprucing it up with a branch of mistletoe. Use a simple gold lace for a sophisticated look. 

It should be noted that while the Mason jar lids are adapted for heavier curtains because of their sizes, you could still improvise a tieback hack for lighter sheer fabrics: Place the mason jar lid against the curtain, gather and thread it through the lid's opening without pulling it all the way through, and slip a teaspoon under the fabric before resting it against the lid to hold everything in place.
