Reuse those Glass Jars

Hanging Lanterns
10 Ways to Reuse a Glass Jar | Natural Family Living Blog

Tiffany from Nature Moms has given us some great ideas on how to reuse glass jars.

1. Beach in a jar – This is a fun project for kids who have visited the beach recently and gathered seashells. Simply put some sand in the bottom of the jar (colored play sand works great for this) and add the seashells. A larger shell can be glued to the lid for a finishing touch. Letting the kids paint the shells first is another fun way to add some color.

2. Lantern or candleholder – This is a good project for a glass jar of any size. The kids can use glass paint to create a stained glass look. Use the candle for dining outdoors in the evening…add a citronella candle and you have a bug deterrent too.

3. Snack jars! She likes to keep nuts, raisins, shredded coconut etc. in glass jars.

4. An I Spy jar – Fill the jar with rice and a few secret objects like a coin, a paperclip, a button, a bead, a small toy, dice, etc and have kids see if they can find all the treasures by rolling the jar around and shaking it up. (Plastic peanut butter jars would be a fun alternative too)

5. Planter – Put pebbles in the bottom of a small jar, then fill with potting soil. Plant herb or flower seeds, and put in the windowsill.

Ways to Save While Going Green – #1

by Stacy on July 27, 2008

Do you currently use a liquid additive in your dishwasher to help clean glass, cut grease, or prevent spots? If you do, STOP wasting your money now. Those additives cost $2-5 a pop and are doing the same things you can get by simply adding an ounce of distilled white vinegar instead. Start adding 1 oz. of vinegar to your dishwasher’s liquid compartment today and you will immediately see the difference. Squeaky clean glasses, no more greasy residue, not to mention the fact that you’re saving a few bucks and helping the environment. Go on, try it. You’ll be glad you did.

Got any other great tips on how to save $$$ while going green? We’d love to hear them, send your ideas to us at kidsstuffworld@gmail.com. If we post your idea, we’ll be sure to add a link to your site/blog. Submit enough ideas and we’ll feature you as well.
