Are You a Jar Head?

Tuesday April 25, 2006
JarWhen I read this article by Susan Dunlap, I had to nod my head and agree that I too am a jar head - not in the slang way, but in the frugal pack-rat sort of way. So much of the packaging in our lives is paper or plastic, that when something is actually packaged in glass it becomes special. I use spaghetti sauce jars to store infused oils, jam jars to test out blends of essential oils, and all sorts of jars to store botanicals and other additives. Of course, you can use them for container candles too...but make sure that the jar can stand up to the heat of the candle. One of my favorites is to make small container candles out of baby food jars. Click on the "comments" link below and tell us what nifty things you are using old jars for.
