Hello Friend,

I absolutely love glass jars! If you have some empty glass jars from purchased food, like pasta sauce, alfredo sauce, salsa or something; let's put them to good use!

9 Ideas For Empty Glass Jars

Office containers - To hold rubber bands, paper clips, pens, pencils, highlighters, etc.

Keepsake Jar for a Child - Save your child's small treasures, baby jewelry, baby teeth (in a teeny baggie), wristbands of waterparks and excursions, seashells (after washing them), etc.
Honey-Do & Thank-You-Honey Jar - Inside the Honey-Do jar, place strips of paper with repairs or fix-it jobs that need to be done, next to it is a Thank-You-Honey jar with strips of paper with thank you coupons for a back rub, a special dessert, two hours to do your hobby without interruption, etc.
Chore Jar for Kids - I describe how I use something similar in this article.
Containers for Kids - barrettes, ponytail holders, rock collection, marbles, jacks and ball, crayons, coins, etc.
Beautiful Bean Decor - These jars are above my kitchen cupboards.

Containers for a Healthy Snack - I love to use glass jars with wood lids and spoons for Greek yogurt, (frozen) berries, and granola. It's a great Go-To snack. I got the idea from the movie Freakier Friday, which is really funny and pretty pure. Nothing woke. Not much swearing. It does have a lady that is a psychic/medium though. I like it better than the 2003 version.

Holder for Reusable Cotton Facial Rounds - These jars hold your clean cotton facial rounds. Your dirty ones go in a mesh bag, then into the washer and dryer.

Salad To Go Jar - The photo below is inside my kitchen cupboard door near where I keep glass jars. I found this clipping in the Better Homes and Gardens magazine from October 2024. When I need to eat on the road, I keep the jar of salad in an insulated bag with an ice pack, plastic fork, paper bowl, napkin and water bottle.
