I love re-using jars for my refrigerator pickles, homemade kraut, or even just "instead of plastic store-bought containers" for anything I need to keep & store back in the "fridge" after a meal. But one thing I do with used glass containers that I love is re-using jar candle containers that have glass lids (that seal with a flexible seal included). I melt them out with my electric jar candle gadget (mine has Christmas decor on it...but who cares? It's what I need)....Do NOT pour any of it down your sink....I wipe all wax out with paper towels and throw them away in the regular garbage. Wash the resulting "wax free" jar out with Dawn. I usually throw even this water out onto my trees that I water. Only then do I run them through the dishwasher on high heat. The result is....in my small galley kitchen, I have a "bump out" arrangement of windows & ON one narrow window on the end, near my husband's "coffee making center" I've layered shelving in the window. I use these glass containers with the sealing tops as canisters on my window shelves: rice, brown sugar, white sugar, many kinds of tea bags, dates, currents, honey, coffee beans, and so on. It does NOT detract from the idea of this being window...b/c all the containers are glass themselves....it actually looks pretty cool....and I've gained in a tiny kitchen another "cabinet" area out in the open, shelved, and in keeping with the whole glass window thing...not forgetting the uber-usefulness of this small work area that it lends.

Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
He. Where can I get the jewel drawer knobs? Thank you.
Don't the lids need to be screwed back on the jar every time someone takes a candy?
How to find fancy knobs?—I use large wooden beads coated w/ glue & glitter! Great way to eliminate wrapping paper & ribbon!!Win-win!
