The humble glass jar!
"Upcycle"
reuse (discarded objects or material) in such a way as to create a product of higher quality or
value than the original.
I love a good recycling or upcycling idea and Pinterest is a great source of inspiration, whether it be a consol jar, an ornate jam jar or even a used fragranced candle jar they can all be cleaned, painted if need be and put to another good use.
These are some of my favourites that I would love to share with you and are really simple to do. Hopefully you'll now see another pretty or handy use for that glass jar before discarding it.
Enjoy!
Holes punched into the lid make a perfect dispenser for your gift ribbon
They're perfect for storing crayons and can even be used to create
wonderful gifting containers.
How cute are these that have been converted into fun drinking glasses.
Sterilised jars can be fun when used to create and store a "salad in a jar".
Remember wet ingredients are placed in the jar at the bottom with the driest at the top.
Used candle jars make handy little containers for just about anything.
Need lots of candle holders, jars come to the rescue every time,
inexpensive and candles twinkling
in a recycled jar look fantastic.
They can be used as cutlery holders
Jars of any shape and size make great shabby chic vases,especially when you require
lots to decorate a party or family gathering.
What a cute, pretty way to store cupcake papers.
