Glass jars are something that we have always used in an art project or two. And believe us, they are a sight to behold. They come in different shapes and sizes, all customizable according to you. Who would not want one of these jars kept in a corner at their place? Or perhaps as a masterpiece hung on a wall that looked so bland. Let’s discuss some incredible and surprisingly fun ways to use jars at home.
Are you bored of the same old glass bottle just lying around? Why not upgrade them into something new?
Glass cream jars: Utilize the smaller ones to store your moisturizing creams, lotions, petroleum jellies, or even your lip balm. They not only look dainty but are also very useful. You can keep your product with less fear of contamination, lesser harm by UV rays, and better longevity. Since they are smaller in size, they are easy to transport and will fit right into your purse!
Store food: Those were the days when granny would make your favorite pickle and store it in a jar only so that you could enjoy it throughout the summer. But it is indeed a great way! These days everything you look around is plastic infusing toxic chemicals into the food you store. Storing your pickles, dry fruits, onion rings, and spices into jars can be the ideal option since bottled and jarred packaged goods are healthy & eco-friendly!
Sanitizers: With corona around, we have learned to live with the view of a sanitizer bottle at every entrance we walk through. Why not make it part of the aesthetics? After all, first impressions do last.
Washroom supplies: Bathrooms have a long-lasting effect on the vibe you want to have. Replace your shampoo and conditioner bottles with glass dispensers that will enhance their beauty. You can go for low-height jars as your soapbox too.
