Reuse Jars!

Here's a way I have found to re-purpose the perfectly good glass jars from peanut butter, spaghetti sauce, applesauce and other foods that I often throw away. What about transforming them into holiday goody containers?
Take for example this molasses jar:

Rinse, peel off label (might have to scrub a bit!), and run it through the dishwasher.
Find some Christmas-y srapbook paper, then cut the paper to size, a circle about aninch larger than the lid. Then fold the paper up and around the lid while hot gluing into place.


So now your lid looks like this


Ta Da!


So don't throw away a good glass jar - reuse it, make something fun, and save yourself some money!
