If you go through a lot of pasta sauce–or really anything that comes in small glass jars, you have hit the jackpot without even realizing it! There are so many ways to reuse these glass jars so that they are cute and sustainable. Here are five of our favorite ways to reuse old pasta sauce jars.
Food Storage Containers
Let’s be honest, buying new food storage containers hurts the wallet. They can be really expensive (especially if you choose to go for glass containers over plastic). Luckily, the jars you were planning on throwing away or recycling are perfect for storing leftovers. They are airtight, so your food won’t leak at all!
Juice Containers
If you like to make your own juices at home, these sauce jars are perfect for storing them! You can make a batch in bulk and save them in the fridge for the week.
Cups
Who said all of your cups have to match?? If you’re on a budget or just really passionate about reducing waste, use your leftover jars as cups!
Planters and Flower Vases
Using jars as planters or flower vases is such a cute way to make your decor a bit more rustic and cute. It will give a more “DIY” aesthetic and show off how much you care about the environment!
Pen Holder
There’s nothing worse than having a bunch of pens and not knowing where any of them are. Maybe they’re taking up space in your junk drawer, or scattered at the bottom of all your bags–but not anymore! Use a jar to store your pens neatly on your desk, so they always have a place and won’t get lost!
