5 More Ways to Keep Your Jar Going
Glass was the right call. It’s the responsible choice. It’s built to last beyond the jar.
Here are five ways to keep yours going after the last scoop.
First step: get the label off cleanly. Soak the jar in warm water for a few minutes, then peel. If there’s adhesive left, rub a little olive oil on it, let it sit for 60 seconds, and wipe it off.
01 — Mini candle
Melt some candle wax, drop in a wick, add your fragrance. The jar size is right. Works well on a dinner table. A chimichurri jar burning on your counter is kind of cool.
02 — Mini herb garden
Fill it with soil and plant basil, chives, rosemary. Keep it on your windowsill. Using herbs grown in the same jar you used for sauce makes sense.
03 — Desk organizer
Pens, scissors, markers. It holds them well. Keeps things in one place.
04 — Spice or pantry jar
Good seal. Clean glass. Right size for spices, salt, seeds, or coffee. Label it and line it up.
05 — Succulent planter
Small succulent or cactus. Low maintenance. Looks good. Lasts.
