How can I organize my canning jars?
They are piled to the ceiling. I have allot of canning jars and planning to get more and need it to be organized. I tried putting them in crates and at this time, thinking of purchasing a pantry shelf which is not in my budget at all. Seeking organization for my canning jars!
Suggested Project Book
I put mine in boxes and stored them in our shed outside. When I want to use them I just run them thru the dishwasher first. Less of a hassle then mountains of canning jars inside.
Try checking out places like Salvation army for tall bookcases, steel high cupboards (mine get things like that) and perhaps they will work for panty type places to keep your canning jars. With the bookcases, you could take the back off one and connect them together with brackets and it would be deeper. With them, you could make it as deep as you want using more than one or two.
If they aren't used, pack away until needed.
If they are used, keep a small supply in the kitchen and pack away making sure you label the boxes and keep up with your inventory. If you have the space, you could put shelves up rather inexpensively. Shelving board mounted on metal brackets would work. Then place canned items on the shelves which will decorate as well as being practical.
