Put a lid on it!

Out here in our little town, we have trash pick up but we do not have recycling service. I still save cans and jars simply because it hurts to throw them. It seems like I might need them one day. I never have but I have found some ways to reuse them.

This week will feature a few posts about reusing jars and cans.

Today I will show you a cute way to increase storage with jars.

First you need jar lids, scrapbook paper, and modpodge.


I first cut out circles for each lid. Then I modpodge-ed them together. Each one came out different and unique.


Let them dry and you have cute storage for all those little things-beads, paperclips, thumbtacks, spools of thread, screws, etc.

I would put BUTTONS in this one - its my favorite.
Free, cute storage! I knew there was a reason to save them. These will probably make it into my craft closet as storage.
