*Upcycling parmesan cheese lids is a clever hack to repurpose Mason jars into functional drinkware.
As The Take reports, the lids fit perfectly on standard Mason jars, offering two pouring options: one for drinking and another with holes for sipping through a straw. This eco-friendly and cost-effective solution helps reduce plastic waste while adding a practical feature to your Mason jars.
To reuse the lids, simply wash them with warm, soapy water, and consider adding a rubber ring for a better seal. Beyond drinkware, these lids can also be repurposed for shakers to hold items like cinnamon-sugar or nutritional yeast, making them a versatile addition to your home.

Here’s how you can do it:
- Cleaning: First, ensure both the Parmesan cheese lid and the mason jar are thoroughly cleaned. Remove any residue from the lid and make sure the jar is dry.
- Fitting the Lid: Parmesan cheese lids often have a standard size that can fit onto the mouth of mason jars, especially regular-mouth jars. Check the fit; if it’s too loose, you might need to use some adhesive or modify the lid slightly to ensure a snug fit.
- Modifications: If the lid doesn’t fit perfectly, you can:
- Use Adhesive: Apply a food-safe adhesive around the rim of the jar or inside the lid to secure it.
- Modify the Lid: If the lid is too tight or too loose, you can gently adjust the plastic with tools or heat to make it fit better, but be careful not to deform it too much.
- Uses:
- Spice Shaker: The lid with multiple holes is perfect for turning your mason jar into a spice shaker for herbs, spices, or even powdered sugar.
- Craft Storage: Use it for small craft supplies like beads, glitter, or small screws.
- Bathroom: Ideal for dispensing bath salts or homemade bath powders.
- Kitchen: Great for homemade dry mixes like pancake mix or cake flour.
- Decorating: You can paint or decorate the lid or the jar to match your kitchen decor or for a personalized touch. Use non-toxic paint or stickers.
Labeling: Label your jars for easy identification, especially if you’re using them for different spices or mixes. You can use chalkboard paint on the lid for reusable labeling.
