SO many uses for this DIY mason jar pour spout!
I know I just shared a mason jar post, but this mason jar pour spout was too good not to share! It’s adorable, easy – and basically FREE.
I’ve had the same little jar, filled with kosher salt, for years. When the hinge finally snapped off I knew it was the right time to attempt this little hack.
Easy.
Peasy.
Here’s how you make a mason jar pour spout:
Using a knife, slice off the top of an empty salt canister. Using the mason jar ring as a template, cut out a circle. Reassemble the lid.
That’s it! I used a piece of kraft paper to layer over the cardboard circle, as shown; you can use laminating paper over it to keep spills and stains away.
There are so many uses for this idea – spices, baking ingredients, art supplies, sprinkles – you get it.
Happy Tuesday!

Hi! I'm Sheri!

Jeez, that is brilliant. I have about a zillion mason jars, rings, and I’ve gotten rid of plenty of salt containers over the years. Except now I have to wait for another one. And it’s full. BOO.
Sugar? Sprinkles? Glitter???
Nice idea!
Cute, right? 🙂
Really a great idea! Some things are so hard to pour without spilling this is perfect.
And so easy (THIS coming from the non-craftiest person around!)!
do you have any ideas that would work to put epsom salts with the pour spot but a waterproof lid??
Maybe some sort of covering for the cardboard? Or using a water-resistant material (like a thick plastic or rubber) in place of the cardboard?
Amazon may carry plastic pour spouts.
Plastic lids from Parmesan cheese fit on small-mouth (“regular”) mason jars. It doesn’t have a pour spout, but it does have a flip top! (My husband drills a hole in the plastic Parmesan lids so that a straw will fit exactly, so we have covered drinks. We have purchased the jars with metal lids with straw holes already in them, but found that they soon rust.) [By the way, your pour spout idea is genius!]
What a great idea! Totally doing this; thank you! 🙂
Love this idea. Thank You
Thank YOU! 🙂
I LOVE this spout. I am now using this for several spices and homemade spice rub. Thank you!!!
Yay! This was one my fave hacks ever! 🙂
This is such a cute Christmas Basket Project!!!
It’s a good one – and so easy!
Sheer genius! I made one, covered the cardboard, and gave it to my daughter-in-law to hold beads, etc.
Yay! I love how versatile this idea can be – beads are a perfect item! 🙂
