Hey friends! Today I’m sharing a couple of ideas on how to use amber Mason jars in fall decor. It’s my contribution to the Embracing Fall Home Tours hosted by Amber at Follow The Yellow Brick Home!
If you’re coming from County Road 407, isn’t Cindy’s Fall family room just gorgeous?
I’m embarrassed to say that I didn’t even know amber Mason jars existed until a few weeks ago. Amber glass jars have been all the rage in Fall decor lately and it got me thinking – are amber Mason jars a thing? A quick Amazon search answered my question that yes indeedy, they are! I bought 3 different sizes of them in 16, 32 and 64 ounces (see below).

I used the 16 and 64 ounce jars in a simple vignette I put together on top of our sideboard in our entryway.
All the pumpkins, gourds and greenery are real. I bought the pumpkins and gourds from a local grower and all the greenery is from our yard.
I bought the solar powered fairy lights on Amazon as well (see “Shop This Vignette” above). I traded out the silver jar rings that came with the fairy lights with some vintage ones I had on hand. If you don’t have any vintage canning jar rings, you can always spray paint the rings that come with the fairy lights if you want them to be a different color.
I cut squares out of black craft paper to cover the solar tops when I want to turn on the fairy lights during the day. You can also cut the craft paper in circles to fit under the ring and use scrapbook paper if you want to make the lids more decorative. I like using the squares because I can turn the fairy lights on and off easily without having to unscrew the lids every time.
I used the 64 ounce Mason jar as a vase. Like the 16 ounce jars, I put a vintage canning jar ring I had on hand to spruce it up a bit.
I hope you enjoyed these easy ideas for how to use amber Mason jars in Fall decor! Next up on the tour is Judith at Botanic Bleu. Her black and gold Halloween fireplace mantle is gonna blow you away!

I had no idea these amber jars existed, either! Wow! what an amazing vignette you have created with those jars. Your tips for using the fairy lights is brilliant! I am so glad to be hopping with you and to collect this inspiration from you!
Thanks so much Chloe! I enjoyed hopping with you too!
As always you are blowing me away Michele! I love all the colors, textures and layers of your vignette. It’s all totally gorgeous. Thanks so much for the link to the Ball jars. I’m so behind the times because I had no idea they even made those. That is so cool! Hugs to you and of course your sweet goats too, CoCo
Thanks so much CoCo! Like you I had no idea they made these until very recently. Hugs and I really enjoyed touring with you!
Michelle your inspiration is so awesome. I love the dark mason jars with the lights. I love all your Fall touches and ideas. Thanks for sharing. Happy Fall season!
You’re very welcome Terrie! It was so much fun touring with you!
Well blow me down Olive Oyl, I didn’t know amber mason jars existed either! Love what you did with the lights. You’ve made me want to go buy gourds and pull greenery from our neighbors yard (ours is boring). Your entire vignette looks fantastic! Enjoy the season. Always love hopping with you! Pinned
Thanks so much Cindy! I was so much fun touring with you too!
Gorgeous entry table Michelle! The amber jars look amazing mixed with all the dark rich natural elements.Your arrangements always knock my socks off! So excited to know where I can buy those jars too. Pinning for inspiration!
Thank you so much Michelle! 🙂
I just saw these amber jars a week or so ago… they are so pretty, and so in tune with fall decor. Love your pumpkin patch… and that everything is ‘real’. 😉
Thank you so much Julie! I’m really getting into using natural elements in my decor – especially for Fall!
Absolutely gorgeous. I didn’t know there were amber mason jars, and then the lights. I love the pumpkins and flowers in your vignette too, So pretty. Really an eye catching display.
Thank you so much Marty!
This is gorgeous. I did not know that they had these in amber. i’m going to have to get some of these.
Thanks so much Katie! 🙂
what??? these are so cool!!! I didn’t know these were a thing. Love your vignette with all the pumpkins and gourds. really pretty!
Thanks so much Debra! 🙂
Wow – you are so creative! I love this idea and how you styled your table. So pretty!
Shelley
Thanks so much Shelley! 🙂
This is gorgeous, Michelle! Loving the amber jars!
Thanks so much Linda! 🙂
I knew amber jars are really popular right now, but I didn’t know they made amber mason jars until I just read this post. Your fall decor is beautiful and you have a great selection of pumpkins.
Thanks so much Carol! We’re so lucky to get a wide selection of pumpkins grown in our area.
I’ve never seen amber mason jars and I love how you added lights to them! They look great with all of the pumpkins!
Thanks so much Angelina!
Michelle, I didn’t know they existed either! Your whole display is gorgeous. I really admire the way you created different levels and decorated with fairy lights and real gourds. It looks beautiful. I featured your dining room on Tuesday Turn About, too! Happy to be hopping with you! Pinning!
Hi Crissy! Thanks so much for featuring my dining room at Tuesday Turn About! So happy to be hopping with you too! 🙂
Ok, I totally had no idea about the amber Mason jars either but I absolutely LOVE them!!!!
Thanks so much Laura! 🙂
I love the amber mason jars! I had a sweet collection of vintage brow jars, but I gave them to our youngest daughter the other day. She loved them and I need to start downsizing. 🙂 You created a beautiful vignette with the jars and pumpkins!
Happy fall,
Jann
Thanks so much Jann! And yay for downsizing! 🙂
The little fairy lights in the jars—autumn magic! I love all of your amazing pumpkins and gourds. I always love how you use greenery from your yard, it inspires me to use more natural elements in my decor.
Truly stunning fall vignette! Love amber glass of any kind!
Thank you for embracing fall with us!
You’re very welcome Amber, and thank you for having me on the tour! It was a lot of fun and so much great eye candy!
What a lovely vignette you created! If I were to visit your home, I’d spend a long time admiring this pretty display. I didn’t know that amber jars existed, and I’m glad that you shared them. I also prefer the old style gold rings and if I gift someone something that I’ve canned, I always use a silver ring so that I can use the gold ones for my jars. I love that you used real pumpkins over faux. I prefer the real thing and own very few faux pumpkins, mostly because I don’t want to have to store them. It’s always a pleasure to see your decor!
Thank you so much Paula! And yes, I don’t like to have to store faux pumpkins either. I’d much rather compost the real ones and grow more next year! 🙂
Michelle, that’s such a clever tip about the black paper for the fairy lights! I adore your gorgeous display of pumpkins and amber mason jars! Happy Fall! Cecilia@ My Thrift Store Addiction
Thank you so much Cecilia! It was so much fun touring with you!
Michelle, I had no idea! I’m glad mason jars have a new vibe; I would have been sad for these classics to go out of style. Great tip with the black paper square. You’re going to have me watching for them now, since it sounds like I haven’t been up on the trend!
Thanks so much Lora! 🙂
Michelle your fall vignettes are stunning! I didn’t know that they mad Ball amber jars either. I am so inspired by how you used them and added the solar powered fairy light…so creative!
Thank you so much Kelly! 🙂
I love this post so much! You are inspiring me for November!!!! So beautiful!
Thanks so much Kristin! 🙂
These amber colored jars are so cute!!! I love that you added fairy lights to them! Fairy lights always add such a magical, whimsical touch!! Love this so much!!

Thank you so much Emily! 🙂
Hi Michelle
The amber canning jars are gorgeous! I had never heard of them either! Your vignette is totally gorgeous and inspiring! I love the fairy lights in the jars as well, so cozy!
Thanks so much Larissa! 🙂
Hi, Michelle,
Actually this is my third time reading this blog post, but just now leaving a comment. The amber fruit jars are perfect with your seasonal fresh produce and yard clippings… all say “Fall” in the nicest way. Fall is a time for amber-colored light, harvesting produce, and yard plants winding down for the year.
Happy Fall,
Judith
Thank you so much Judith! 🙂
Michelle, I love your entry fall arrangement. Has all the elements of the perfect fall vignette. The amber mason jars are, indeed, perfect for fall decorating. I wasn’t t aware of them either. Love the faerie lights too.
Thanks so much Carol! 🙂
So beautiful! I’ve never seen the amber colored mason jars before!
Thanks so much Christy! And yes, it’s hard to believe that so many of us didn’t realize amber Mason jars were a thing! 🙂
