\"Six<\/p>\n

I recycle as much of my waste as I can but I still hate throwing out old glass jars. Be it my old Welsh Lady<\/a> lemon curd jars or empty Dolmio jars, I think they can be made pretty again. Here are some ideas on how to reuse glass jars.<\/p>\n

1) Storage<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"Glass<\/p>\n

Search for mason jars (posh way to say jam jars!)\u00a0 on Pinterest and you will find all manner of storage ideas for empty jam jars. From food to stationery – plenty of things you can store in jam jars. Currently I have apple pie filling nicely stored in jars. If you plan on using jars for food storage please take heed of food safety precautions.<\/p>\n

2) Upcycle – Candle Holders<\/h3>\n

\"3<\/p>\n

In my opinion the simplest way to reuse a jam jar is to simply turn it into a snazzy little candle holder. There’s various ways you can do this:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Using simple ribbons – glue a nice ribbon around the outside of the jar and make a bow.<\/li>\n
  • Using glitter – paint some PVA glue along the inside and sprinkle some glitter.<\/li>\n
  • Using nothing – sometimes the nicest upcycling is the most simple upcycling. I recently turned my Welsh Lady Lemon Curd jam jar into a candle holder.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    After doing all the fancybits, place a tealight inside and Ta-Dah an upcycled jam jar candleholder. Of course you can make your own candles to place in rather than a tealight. I’ll have a tutorial coming up for that in a few weeks so keep an eye out.<\/p>\n

    3) Mini Wormery<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    \"Old<\/p>\n

    My girls love digging up the garden looking for wiggly worms. Only problem is, they won’t put the worms back in the dirt. So I now use old jam jars as makeshift wormeries! Fill about 2\/3 of the jar with dirt and the remaining 1\/3 with leaves or veg peelings. Make sure to punch a few holes in the lid or the poor worms won’t be able to breathe!<\/p>\n

    Remember, worms don’t like light. Be sure to keep them in the dark or the worms will head towards the middle of the jar and you’ll never see them.<\/p>\n
