What to do with those spaghetti jars? They are really nice, but yet, you don't really know what to do with them... So, how about using them for your storage solutions?
Supplies Needed...
Glass Jar(s) (any style will do, but reusing Classico is a great way to recycle)
*18Gauge Wire (like Aluminum, but you can use any type)
Yarn/ Ribbon/ or Twine
Fabric (6"x14", pending on your jar)
*If you want to hang your jar, you'll need the wire... if you want to have
your jar just rest on a tabletop, you will not need this supply.
How to...
1.Remove Label from Jar, if there is one
2.Wash your Glass Jar in hot soapy water/ dishwasher let fully dry
3.Measure out Fabric and Cut... You want it to be 2" taller and 2" wider than the actual size of the jar
4. Next Measure and Cut your Ribbon/Yarn/Twine to be 6" longer than the width around your jar
5. If you want to hang your Jar this is where you'll set this up, if not skip down to step 6... Take your wire and wrap around the neck of the jar under the lip/grooves and twist 5+ times to ensure it's security. Then, bend the wire (do not cut, just bend) upward to create a hanging loop and bring back down on the opposite side of the jar, thread through the already tightened wire that's around the neck and twist 5+ times to secure around neck, cut with wire cutters and tuck so that it won't poke or harm. Then go to the top of the hanging loop and pinch about 1" down and twist to create another tight little loop. This helps keeps weight balanced and secure your wire at all the joints.
6. Lay Fabric down on a flat surface, print side down, place your jar onto the fabric and roll up the fabric around jar. You'll need to manipulate the fabric so that it stands taller than the jar, but meets at the bottom.
7. Take your Ribbon/Yarn/Twine and tie around the jar to secure fabric. Make the bow or knot look nice.
8. Fold the excess fabric under; it can go into the jar, it can go under the tied ribbon/yarn/twine or you can fold to the top of the jar but under and behind the tie (like this best because it doesn't hinder your jar's items from going in or out of your jar and it looks cleaner)
*If you like, you can add a label hanging from the tie to help keep you organized!
