also i really enjoyed this book, Craft Challenge: Dozens of Ways to Repurpose a Pillowcase, have you seen it yet? 20 designers took the pillowcase challenge & came up with 28 (mostly sewing) craft projects.

maybe you'd like to play along? i would love to see photos of your ideas & creations.
i also have a request, if you've ever seen an entire book (or lengthy magazine article) on repurposing jars, please let me know, i'm curious to know if there's a book solely on this subject... thanks in advance !

so where can you get glass jars? ...make a point when you're out grocery shopping to look for & buy your food items in fun glass jars, check out: garage or yard sales, vintage or antique shops & flea markets for vintage ones, freecycle, eBay, .... looking for baby food jars? ask a friend who has a baby/toddler or ask someone who runs an in-home daycare if they happen to have any.

so it turns out that these Bonne Maman jars are the perfect size for cotton swabs & most sized Band-Aids, other ideas for bathroom storage: cotton balls, toothbrush & toothpaste (without the lid), cosmetic puffs, hair ties, bath salts...
also, i didn't get a chance to make one of these myself, but this is a great idea to have by any sink, bathroom or kitchen, check out this mason jar soap dispenser how-to.
see you tomorrow for day 2 !

What a great idea. It looks so good.I can hardly wait for the soap dispenser!!!!
ReplyDeleteI think I also saw BM jars with a green (but not a very pretty hue of green) lids. I'll have to check that next time when I shop for food.
