In our home we love breakfast…especially the sugary kind. I know, shame on me! We love french toast, cinnamon toast, and I love cinnamon lattes! I wanted to make some fun and cute shakers with mason jars, and set up a little area near my coffee maker and toaster so we can just grab them and use them. Let me show you how easy it is to take a mason jar and turn it into a shaker…
You will need a jar and lid, a clean nail, and a hammer.
Take the flat part of the lid and turn it upside down…trust me on this please.
Hammer as many holes as you like in the lid. Make sure to hold the jar steady so you don’t smash it.
I nailed about 14 holes in mine.
I made two…one for powdered sugar and one for cinnamon sugar.
The powdered sugar for french toast…
and the cinnamon for my lattes and cinnamon toast! YUM!
Wanna save it for later? Pin it below!
Have you made anything fun with mason jars?
Leave a link below…I’d love to see!
What a great idea! Based on your experience, how well would it work {if even possible} to line up the holes with the cute pattern on the lid?
Oh girl! I’m sure you could totally put the lids all the way on in the beginning and make them perfect. I am so random that I thought of that afterwards.
Did the lids come pre-cut (with the “floral” pattern – I know, I know, it isn’t really floral but they look like flower petals!)? And if so, (or not?) where did you find the lids? This is an awesome idea!!
Thanks in advcance!!
