Are your 8 oz jelly jars overrunning your storage area? While you may not have some in your pantry, you can pick them up to suit your needs. No matter which camp you belong to, you can benefit from creative suggestions for utilizing these jars. People drop them into the recycle bin, but there are so many uses within a home for such an item. In the section that follows, a couple of suggestions are described in greater depth.
For starters, consider using your empty jelly and jam jars as wax candle containers. This lets you decorate any space. They will look amazing on a mirrored tray, too. This idea allows you to easily move the tray full of candles anywhere you prefer to use it. Maybe you want to include them in your romantic dinner decor. Afterwards, take it to the Jacuzzi with you!
Another nice idea is to use the jam and jelly jars to hold items inspired by whatever time of year it happens to be. You can change them as frequently as you wish. You might want to jar things like roses and tulips in the spring, and change to pebbles and dirt during the summer. A bouquet of colorful leaves is perfect for autumn and for the winter holidays, fill the jar with beautiful holly branches.
