Keep Your Canning Jar Rings Tucked Away And Organized With A Clever Storage Hack

Canning jar lid rings can seem impossible to store neatly. They often sit in jumbled piles inside of kitchen cabinets. If you own a collection of canning jar lid rings yourself, you're probably familiar with this struggle. It's difficult to figure out a designated storage space that would keep them neat and organized. However, there's an easy solution you may not have thought of. You can keep your canning jar lid rings tucked away by cutting the side of a metal hanger at the top using metal cutting shears and sliding the rings onto the bottom of it.

Once you have all of the metal rings lined up on the hanger, you can use pliers to reattach both sides of the hanger you previously split open. At that point, you are free to place the canning jar lid organizer in a storage closet or on a hook. If you do not already have a storage hook installed in your kitchen, you may want to add one so that you can place the hanger there. Keep in mind that you may need to use more than one hanger depending on the size of your canning jar ring collection. Let's dive into how to assemble this hack so you can use it to keep Mason jar lid rings from cluttering your cabinets.

How to use a metal hanger to organize canning jar lid rings

This kitchen storage hack is so simple that you'll be able to complete it in no time. Simply use a metal cutting tool, such as the TOOLMAK Aviation Tin Snips, to snip the top of the hanger. Make sure you cut next to the hook as shown above. After you load your rings on, you can seal the hanger with pliers or use duct tape if you don't already own the tool. Just hold the hanger together and wrap tape around the section you sliced open to keep it closed.

At this point, you are free to hang your new organizer. Whether you plan to use the rings for canning or would rather repurpose them around your home and garden, this DIY storage system makes it easier to keep them neat between uses. When you need to grab a ring, simply reopen the top of the hanger and seal it shut with pliers or tape.

The content creator suggests placing the hanger on a closet rack, but you might find it more convenient to place it inside of a kitchen cabinet or your pantry. Consider sticking a self-adhesive hook, such as an Adove Adhesive Hook, on the back of a cabinet door or your pantry wall so that you can place your canning jar lid ring hanger on it. That way, it'll be stored out of sight but still within reach.
