Ways to reuse Glass jars!!
Like the ones your spaghettie sauce comes in,baby food jars etc.
Make a lighting bug catcher-poke wholes in the lid and catch away,we used to do this as a kid and put them in our rooms as night lights lol
use to store hm sauces or mixes in
use as a pen holder
make a snowglobe
keep nuts bolts screws etc in-baby food jars are great for this.
keep small toys in like legos,dominos that are missing the box
we keep dd's hair ties in one
use as a change jar(have tons of these around)

I like to use the larger glass jars for drinking glasses. They look so "country"! I especially like the jars that Hershey ice cream topping comes in. It has Hershey's written on the side. Large glass jars also make cute "country" vases. I like the old fashioned or country look so, jars work right in with my things.

Layer potpourri and small strand of lights. Poke holes in jar and plug in. Dim lights with a great smell.

Things store better in the refrigeration in glass jars than in plastic. When I put something in my tupperware I can't see it until I open it up and it's too late. I forget about it when I can't see it. With jars I clearly see it and it doesn't get wasted by ruining before we eat it.

After I harvest and dry my flower seeds at the end of the summer I store the seeds in glass jars on a shelf in my garage. I will label each jar with the flower name and when time to plant seeds next spring I can see at a glance how many seeds I have of each flower.

I use a small glass jar (jelly jar size) for a cinnamon/sugar mixture container. I poke small holes in the lid so that I can just shake the cinnamon/sugar onto buttered bread for cinnamon toast. Glass jar stores easy in the cabinet.
