If you walked into my parents basement right now, you would see every size Ball and Mason jar available. There are, at last count, about 275 jars. Since my parents are both deceased, it will fall to my siblings and me to wash them and get rid of them. Translation: Since I am the only one who goes in the house, I have a big job ahead of me.I know that I won't recycle them all, but I also won't reuse them all. What to do?
Checking around the internet for ideas on what to do with all the jars, I stumbled upon Myscha's article on sanity saving ideas for canning jars. I must confess, many of the ideas I already knew about, but some of them made the light bulb go off in my head. Here are a few of my favorites from Myscha's list:
- Dry goods organizer
- Drinking glasses
- Desk organizer
- Flower vase
- Soap dispenser
