Some ideas for using empty glass jars

Empty jars and bottles take up more and more space in our apartments every day. Yes, you can, of course, roll jam in them and close compotes for the winter, but the jars are not getting smaller 🙂

You can throw it away and forget. But the issue of recycling, unfortunately, in our country is not developed at the proper level, and garbage will simply accumulate, littering everything around.

It’s better to show your imagination and come up with new, alternative ways to use empty coffee cans, preservation, etc.

In order not to be unfounded, we give examples.

1. Vases.

Various decoupage techniques, threads, stained glass paints - all this can be used to transform an unnecessary jar into a chic hand-made vase.

Instead of a jar, you can use an empty wine bottle. Depends on what shape you want to end up with.

To make such a bright striped vase, you can use either dad's colored electrical tape, or cover the jar with double-sided tape, and then cover it with pieces of gift wrapping tape, corrugated paper, or pieces cut from glossy magazines.

This vase is very easy to make: you need to wrap it tightly with woolen thread; the ends of the thread are attached either with glue or with double-sided tape. You can put the whole thread on the glue.

2. Containers for cereals and other small items

The first option does not require any work at all. Cereals, spices, peas, beans just need to be packaged and placed on the shelves. You can pick up multi-colored lids or jars of different shapes for beauty.

If you want to add some cosiness to the kitchen, knit cute jar covers.

Also in banks you can store all sorts of small things: buttons, threads, needles. And the cans themselves can be easily glued to the bottom of the shelf.

3. Pots for flowers.

Very beautiful, original, and most importantly - environmentally friendly. You can paint in different colors or choose the color of the jar to match your curtains.

4. Lamps, street lamps and oil lamps.

5. Photo frames

Glass jars can also be used instead of photo frames.
