Apple Moonshine, lemoncello, raspberry vinegar, mint syrup for tea. Or just for deco-make a fairy light. fill with twinkle lights, top with a decoration of some kind. I have a twinkle light filled crystal glass ceiling light globe turned upside down on a cake pedestal with a gold finial on top. It sits under my favorite oil painting and  My hubs loves it!

Depending on how they look, you could use them to collect and display things like: interesting rocks or pebbles, seashells, sea glass, or other found objects.

I turned mine into a table lamp and love it!

Amy Anson · Answer

flip it upside down, glue glass pebbles or shells or whatever to it for decoration, put some solar or twinkle lights inside and use as a garden decoration. Instead of lights you can use as a water feeder for plants that need some extra moisture too.

Just be careful using the brown ones--a lot of times they contained poisons. . . at least that's what one old timer told me.

Cut the top off at the shoulder, just where it begins to curve. Use it as a planter. For the clear glass one, after you use a glass cutter to cut off the top, use a good primer and spray it, then paint it decoratively. If you are not an artistic painter, then simply give it several coats of one color, and using a kitchen sponge cut in half, use a different color and sponge it on. Now you have a gorgeous planter!!!!!

I use one for homemade kahlua & another one I put used keys that no longer go to anything, I don't have many but kind of cool, I seen a windchime made with old keys so may have to find a new use for my jug, I like the lamp idea !

Wrap jute or a rope around lid,, add a knob, make a terrarium .Or, a gallon would be big enough for goldfish, if you like to keep critters captive. Make labels and use for storage: flour, sugar, baking ingredients, macaroni, beans, chips...
