Okay, let's be real here. When you think of needing a little extra organisation on your vanity table the last thing we think of would be to use a glass jar. But, I'm here to share with you 5 Cute and Easy ways to use a jar for your vanity or just for a little bit more organisation in your life.
1. The Simple Jam or Mason Jar
I'm sure we've all seen pictures of mason jars all over the internet like Pinterest, Tumblr and Instagram. But here in the UK we don't get Mason jars so I'm substituting it for a jam jar. Just take a jam jar clean it out and fill the bottom of it with glass beads or even coloured tissue paper. Then what I like to do is fill it with makeup brushes or my chubby sticks. And then have it displayed on your vanity table. Super easy and practically free way of creating cute storage for your beauty bits and bobs.
2. Memory Jar
Throughout our lives we are constantly making memories and it's almost impossible to remember every little thing that happens to us. A memory jar is a fun way to keep our memories alive! I bought a really cute cupcake style jar from hobby craft for £5 and a pack of coloured post-it's. Every night just write a message, note or memory from the day fold it up and keep it in your jar. Voila you're done. A year later or 6 months later you can open up the jar and read through all of your memories that you possibly forgot.
3. The Cotton Jar
So a few days ago on a local selling page a lady had put up for sale 8 short round jars with a clasp on the side for £1 each! I went back to her and I ended up buying all 8. These jars are what I call the cotton jar. They are perfect size to hold cotton balls, cotton pads and cotton buds (Q-Tips). Small round jars are so easy to come across for really cheep prices. If you look in places like Hobby Craft or the home ware department of Next or Debenhams you can really find yourself a bargain.
4. Smelly Jar
When a candle is finished why should we throw away the jar? A candle jar from Yankee Candle or Bath and Bodyworks are the perfect size to create a new smelly jar, not necessarily for candles, but, to create a little potpourri jar to fill your room with another new scent! Potpourri can be bought from many stores and its quite inexpensive. Grab a bag that suits your style place it into your empty candle jar and you're done. The perfect smelly jar!
5. The Gift Jar
Jars can be used to have organisation and practical uses. The perfect gift idea for a Birthday, Mothers Day or Valentines Day is to decorate and fill a jar with things your friend or partner would love. Fill your jar with some tissue paper and confetti and the rest is up to you. Create a candy jar with all their favourite sweets. A makeup lovers dream jar with some nail polish a lipstick and a voucher for their favourite beauty store. Or for someone special you can fill your jar with a jewellery box and something that would make them smile.
Well there we go! 5 super simple ways to use your empty jars! I hope that helps with some practical uses for your glass wear.
