What You Can Do With Empty Glass Jars?

Are you down to the last drop of jam, and you are wondering what to do with that empty beautiful glass jar? Keeping empty jars has always been every homestead's tradition, with the hope that they might help in some way one day. Glass jars are items you can always find a second use for unless it is broken. Therefore, if you have some of these glass jars sitting around in your cupboards, find out below is some stuff you can do with them.


Homemade Candles

With empty glass jars, you can make your homemade candles; you can choose to make scented ones or just regular ones. The process is quite simple; you need soy wax flakes, candle wicks, and scented oils. All these items are readily available at the local store. Once you have all the things, place the candle wicks in the jar, and then melt the was using the double-broiler method. Once everything is melted, pour the wax into the jar, center the wicks and allow to cool and harden.

Make a Piggy Bank

 If you want to save money but don't want the savings to get mixed up with your other savings, use an empty glass jar. You can decide to make a coin hole on the lid or leave it intact and open each time you need to drop some money inside. A glass jar will give you motivation as you can easily see the progress you are making with your savings.


Planter for Herbs

Do you have a small kitchen garden in your backyard or at the counter in your kitchen? Glass jars are the best way to separate your herbs and have an organized garden. This is ideal, especially if you don't have enough ground to plant all your vegetables and herbs. Once you have produced all the spices, you can place them on the balcony and pick any each time you cook.


Paint Storage

If you love painting or have kids who paint, and you wonder how you can store their paints without drying, use glass jars. Especially the 5ml glass jars, they are small enough to fit the paint and easier to use every time you need to paint. The glass jars will give you an easy time telling which color you need, and you don't have to open each container checking.


Yarn Storage

If you love knitting, then you must frown each time your yarn rolls to the bottom of the seat, and you have to get it to avoid getting it tangled. The best way to solve this problem is by using empty glass jars. Just make a small hole on the lid where you will let the yarn run through, then put it inside and tighten the lid. This way, your cat will have to find new toys to play with.


Reusing glass jars is quite simple and satisfying because there are many options and ideas to pick from. Regardless of what you need to do, you will always find a suitable glass jar for the task, including creating fun family games that you can play together during holidays or weekends. So, the next time you come across an empty glass jar, keep it well.
