We don't cook that often but when we do, we always make sure to save glass jars for repurposing. They're sturdier than plastic bags for toting items and look great in a group displaying flowers or candles. Our favorite ways to repurpose empty glass jars after the jump!

  • We reuse glass jars to store loose food contents like coffee, rice, flour and sugar
  • Use them in the laundry room to stow detergent and Oxy Clean
  • They make the perfect vase for a bouquet peonies or a single flower
  • A large group of glass jars to hold tea lights makes a big impact
  • We love a large empty jar for safe keeping of change for a rainy day
  • Mason jars are the perfect size for serving cold beverages on a hot day
  • Store craft and art supplies in an office space with homemade labels
  • Use smaller glass jars in the bathroom medicine cabinet for holding hair ties, safety pins and lip balms
  • A medium sized glass jar is the perfect size for storing dog food when we take our pet on road trips
  • We also like lining up a row on the mantlepiece for displaying your favorite collections
