Did you know that the lids from a 15 oz. Coffee-mate Creamer fit perfectly on a mason jar? It's the powder creamer, not the liquid lid that fits. You can even paint them in just about any color you want to match your kitchen. And you can make a sugar jar too. This will definitely dress up your coffee station!

Do you have a couple of Ball jars? Do you want your coffee station or kitchen to look like you and Martha Stewart are besties? Then check this out...

Secret #1 - Purchase a 15oz. Coffee-mate Creamer container in the flavor of your choice. Make sure it's the powder version and the 15 oz. size. The other sizes do not work on the regular sized canning jar. Simply switch out the lids.

Secret #2 - You can also make an adorable sugar jar too! All I did was wait until my Morton Salt container was empty. I then traced around the lid and cut it out. It makes the perfect and cutest sugar jar for a farmhouse look.

My kitchen coffee station is black and white so the red lids from the Coffee-mate Creamer wasn't exactly what I wanted. So I went to Lowe's and purchased a can of Valspar Premium Finish spray paint in black satin to change the color. It took less than a minute to paint and less than an hour to dry. No peeling or stickiness. You can paint the lids in just about any color you like for your own kitchen.

The finishing touch - Label the jars so that you know exactly what's in there. I found a package of labels that came with string at Hobby Lobby. Write on the labels, tie them around the lid, and voila! Fancy Farmhouse Coffee Creamer/Sugar Jars! It seriously cannot get any easier than that!
