Jams, syrups, honey, spices... most of these come in glass jars. I'm sure you normally just toss these to the garbage or recycle them. But why not give them a new meaning in life? I've decided to do just that.
All you need to do is soak off the labelings and scrub out the insides. Here are a few ideas that I have started for our little cottage...
One: Save your tea leaves and let them dry in the sun. Add them to a glass jar of any size and shape. When it is about half- full, add some cinnamon sticks. Leave the lid off and stick it on a window sill. If you use flavored tea, it will give off a fresh scent!
Two: If you have a larger glass jar, you can use this idea as a dining room centerpiece. Get a few stems of your favorite silk flower, and cut off the blooms. Place the blooms inside the jar, and give your table an elegant look!
Three: Use smaller jars for fresh spices from your own garden. Keep the lids and label the spices with cute & crafty fabrics and fonts.
Four: Add bath salts or even handsoap to give a vintage look to your bathroom. You can sometimes find a dispenser that will screw right on to mason jars.
Five: To add a cute touch to any shelf, add buttons or your yarn collection to glass jars. This is an adorable way to stay organized and clutter-free.
And remember kids... reduce, reuse, recycle. :}
