I have a problem... I love to recycle jars!
I cannot stop cleaning out jars and making them into something else... functional
The hubby wants to recycle them in the big blue bin on the patio... but I know their beauty!
Take for instance this pickle jar
I etched some shamrocks on it and made it into a St Pattys Day Candy Jar...
All I did was buy a pack of shamrock stickers... use the boarder of the sticker
and
filled in with armour... waited 10mins and washed it off
in the meantime I decoupaged the lid with some plaid green paper
I filled the jar with peanut m&m's
(the color of love from valentines day 1/2 price)
(Yes... there is a glare... )
I plan on maybe adding a ribbon to the neck of the jar... soon... maybe!

I have a total problem keeping jars too! I have an entire shelf in the basement COVERED in jars! There's just so much possibility! I love the shamrocks....such a great and quick project!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to reuse glass jars! I have about 10 glass jars, in various sizes, just waiting for me to do something with them! This is a fantastic idea!

ReplyDeletehehee, I reuse jars too! This one is so cute with the little etched shamrocks! Good job!
ReplyDeletePatricia -- You are not the only one! Right now, I'm saving all sorts of glass jars, metal soup cans, & wine corks.
ReplyDeleteI've been using the glass jars in my pantry for baking stuff (flour, sugar, etc) as well as snacks (chips, crackers), cereal and tea bags. I love taking everything out of the ugly boxes and having everything in the glass jars. It makes me feel SO MARTHA!
VERY CREATIVE!
