5 Practical Ways to Reuse Glass Jars at Home
1. Organize Pantry with Jars
Jars are the perfect addition to a pantry in any zero-waste kitchen. Reuse large jars to store any type of dry goods such as beans,pasta,and rice that you pick up at bulk bins. Large pickle jars can be great for this!
Additionally,use glass jars as spice jars,to organize snacks,hold tea leaves,or anything you can think of!
2. Reuse Jars as Drinking Glasses
You can reuse glass jars to drink water,juice,iced coffee and smoothies out of. Cover it and put it back in the fridge if you don’t finish it. It’s a lot better than putting a regular cup back in the refrigerator that risks getting knocked over and spilling.
You can also store leftover coffee from the morning in glass jars and then make yourself an iced coffee later in the day.
3. Reuse Jars as Vases
Another great use for empty glass jars,especially vintage jars,is for aesthetics!A glass jar flower vase is a great way to repurpose an old jar as part of your home decor.
Friends who like DIY can also use acrylic paint to paint the bottle body,or use twist rope to wrap the bottle body in circles,and it will become a unique vase!
4. Reuse Jars to Grow Potted Plants
It is also a great choice to use as a plant. Ornamental succulents and spice plants are suitable. To plant spices such as sweet basil or rosemary,you can place them by the kitchen window where there is sunshine and ventilation. You can use soil farming or hydroponics. Spice seeds can be bought at the flower market!
5. Reuse Jars to Make Candles
If you like to make your own candles,making them in repurposed glass jars is a great way to give them a new life. Use a heat-resistant glass jar so you don’t have to worry about the container not being able to withstand the heat.
If you don’t have a long candle at home,you can first fill the coffee beans to a height that is easy to place and take out the candle. In addition,it is also very easy to extinguish the candle. Just cover it gently with the original glass cover to isolate the air and the candle can be easily extinguished!Once the candle is finished,clean it and repeat!
