Great idea, especially with Easter, teacher appreciation & Mother’s Day right around the corner!
Those are so cute!
I do this every year with my Ragu sauce jars. I cover with cute scrapbook paper and give gifts of homemade chai tea mix or a collection of HBA samples to my sisters & mom for Christmas.
I also have a cute collection lining the top of my stove containing tea bags, Campbell’s soup labels & boxtops for school collection. Feels great to reuse something instead of tossing or trying to recycle it (no glass recycling in my town.)
I also do this with glass or plastic bottles and fabric. All it takes is a hot glue gun.
I have a ragu glass vase on my table right now with some pretty flowers in it. I just tie a ribbon around the neck of the jar where the threading for the cap is to cover it. I actually like it better than glass vases you can but because it is the perfect size!
Very pretty! I will have to try it sometime. Right now flowers are not in the budget.
Anyway, thanks for sharing the idea. I love to repurpose things, too!
You could go for a walk and pick some. Where I live, there are plenty of “wild” daffodils right now that you could just stop along the highway and pick for free! If you have your own place, ask friends for starts of flowers and grow your own.
Awesome idea and looks easy. I have a lot of glass beads and things and I think I will make some gifts! Thanks for sharing!
love this idea! i’m helping to throw a baby shower next month and this might work!!
