Get Rid Of Mason Jar Lid Clutter With This Cute DIY Idea

Anyone new to canning recognizes early on that the biggest challenges lie in details like storing lids; you'll want to make sure they don't add to your kitchen clutter. Homeowners might have different ways of handling Mason jar lid clutter, including clever methods like using color-coded totes and hanging stacks of lids vertically on repurposed wire hangers. Of all the different ideas we found for how to store Mason jar lids, a certain crocheted canning jar lid holder stood out for being both simple and elegant.

You may not crochet, but you probably know someone who does. With how easy this DIY mason jar storage idea is, anyone who enjoys this craft can easily get it done in a manner of minutes. People who like to crochet often find unique ways to make almost everything, and this clever jar lid holder from creator destiny_roberts7 on TikTok does exactly what it's expected to do.

All you have to do to make this simple Mason jar lid holder is chain enough stitches so that it's as long as you want your lid holder to be. Then, follow that with one row of double crochet, and finish it off. Once you've woven in the ends of the yarn, it's ready to use. Just string the jar bands on the crocheted holder and bring the ends together to form a loop. Then, you can hang them on a hook in your kitchen or pantry.

As the creator of this crocheted Mason jar lid holder points out, this is a better solution than storing them in a bag or drawer. Since they don't need to be used that often, people often hang Mason jar lids using DIYs that feature things like wire hangers or rope. One of the reasons we like this crocheted holder is because of the holes between the crochet stitches, allowing it to easily fit onto a cup hook or nail in your pantry. You can even adjust the size of your loop by inserting the hook anywhere along its length.

There are many different ways you can make this idea your own in your kitchen pantry. You may want to make more than one if you have both wide-mouth and regular size jar rings. If you do a lot of canning and you want to use up the vertical storage space along your shelves, you can insert cup holders all along their length, then hang up small loops of canning lids that are easy to grab for a single canning project. You could also experiment with making these from different types of cord, yarn, jute, or baling twine — although you might want to skip the second row of double stitches if you use heavier materials.
