How To Repurpose A Canning Jar For Rustic Flower Vase

by Texas Homesteader ~

It’s all the rage to decorate farm style or country chic. I love the simplicity of using canning jars for flower vases.

One day RancherMan & I enjoyed a little exploring time in an area on our property where previous homesteaders took their ‘trash’ decades ago. There were several unbroken old canning jars, no longer fit for canning obviously.

I love to catch a little glimpse into the past when I see what those homesteaders long ago discarded. Especially when I can repurpose those things into something I love for our home.
