How would you like a continuous supply of homegrown fresh herbs right at your fingertips? All you need is to upcycle your Jars and pop them on a Pallet.

You can even use a piece of wood and hang them in a favorite space at your place.

You can use a Pallet or any other backdrop. It could be wood, a chalkboard, an old door .. anything goes. We have seen them hanging on window shutters and lots of other household items.

The best way to work out if the backdrop will be right for your project is to check how easy it will be to attach the Mason Jars. To hang, you can use clamps as shown in the above version 

Here’s an example of a Recycled Shutter that has a lovely distressed look. This is great inspiration and shows how you can display your Mason Jars on all sorts of materials. Anything goes! We found this one on Etsy

Mason Jars also look delightful with flowers, this simple look will brighten up any room. Put decent space between your rows for extra impact. Found on ‘Put It In A Jar’
