I've been searching for a while now but I couldn't find a concrete answer. I'm not canning or anything, I would just like to store my dry goods in glass jars instead of purchasing new Mason or Weck jars. Ragu jars, sauce container jars, etc. Some of the pasta jars would be able to use my reusable mason jar lids. Other jars have less thread than mason jar so the mason jar lids won't work.

I still have existing lids from the glass jars but I noticed some has an odor or started to rust because they are old.

Where can I get new lids? Preferably plastic because metal ones will always rust eventually. Is there any resources I can find to know where I can purchase replacement lids. Would restaurant supply store has them?

I have rescued a bunch of small jars in the ground from around my property, have a good 10-20 small ones and am in the process of cleaning and restoring them.

Only 5 out of all of the 50+ bottles/jars of glass I’ve found have lids, most in rough condition so I am left with a problem. Since they are all different sizes, I can’t just buy a set of jars lids for their size, but majority of them are way too small to use any kind of mason jar/plastic lid.

I want to use the small bottles for spices, but would need to create an air tight lid and not sure how, googles not very helpful either. The only thing I can think of is clay or possibly carving out of wood, but I’m worried about it not sealing correctly or being too stubborn to get off. I’m not very open to cork lids either so it’s only as a last resort.

Any suggestions would be very well appreciated

TLDR: I need to make diy air tight jar lids for glass jars all of different sizes, and no original lid to base off of.
