12 Items to Upcycle in Jars That Will Turn Your World Upside Down

7/7/2020

   Do you love to buy salsas, Culina yogurt, and other products in a jar? What are you doing with your jars when you're finished with the product inside? Do you simply throw them in the trash can? Wash them out first? Recycle them? How about upcycle  them? 

   More recently my significant other and I have started to bring in more "green" elements and ways to sustain ourselves into our lifestyle. We discovered one day that we buy a lot of products that come in a glass jar often. So to remedy the fact that we were wasting glass all the time, and let's face it recycling in the country.... is not recycling, we decided to get creative with them. 

CULINA POTS & JARS
   Culina is a fairly new company that produces coconut based yogurt. Originally they came in an adorable little flower/planter pot. Recently the company has switched to a small glass jar with a twistable lid. These jars are AMAZING for: 
1.storing sauces 
2.small items like gummy candies
3.seeds & nuts 
4.animal fats/grease 
5.activated chia seeds  
6.take smaller snacks on the go 

So don't throw them out! Upcycle them! You can even decorate them as they come bare without a label glued to the whole jar. 

PASTA SAUCE JARS
   Okay, we all remember the GIGANTIC Prego jars... well they haven't gone away. We find these jar sizes now come in the salsa that we love to get from Whole Foods. We also love to have a Mango Gummy Bear now and then, since they come in the bulk section and they come a pound at a time we use this jar to store our gummies. This keeps our gummies nice and fresh. We also use the jars to store:
7.broth for ramen
8.food leftovers
9.asparagus in water
10.citrus peels for making into plant food

Don't toss these jars either! Upcycle them! Decorate them and make them yours, fit them to the theme of your kitchen or house. 

TOPOCICO & WATER BOTTLES
    We love to have a Topo a few nights a week, however that is a lot of glass to be "recycled", what do you do? Get yourself a glass cutter and (11) enjoy some new glasses to drink from! And that (12)bottle cap can be turned into some bottle cap art! Any kind of glass bottle can be cut and turned into a drinking glass, who knows you could have a new side hustle! You may even try turning them into a vase for a plant or a fish( make sure that fish has room to grow!)

   Whatever you may be drinking or eating from, don't just toss it in the trash can, UPCYCLE IT! Help reduce your footprint and find a good use for that jar or bottle.
