I LOVE RECYCLING !!!!

I love to recycle, repurpose, stay organized and spend little to no money on projects.  I just can't bring myself to throw out jars, spaghetti sauce jars, jam jars, pickle jars, etc.  You get it, I horde jars.  All of these loves of mine have come together in the last few days and I was able to clean out most of my horded jars and make some new storage for my sewing/craft room. 

First I put my bathroom jar storage idea on steroids,

 
then I added candlesticks, drawer knobs and leftover spray paint to make my own beautiful apothecary jars.
 


 
Now instead of having all my buttons, snaps and supplies tucked away in plastic containers I can now see them and my jars just make me happy.
 
Going to the craft store or even Wal-Mart to purchase storage jars can be quite expensive, but my jars were all saved, candlesticks were purchased very. very cheap at yard sales and all the drawer knobs were saved off of furniture that I have re-done so for less than the cost of one apothecary jar at the craft store I made 28 and now have beautiful, colorful organization !!!!!

    I don't see the problem in hoarding jars, as long as you put them to great use. Filling them up with materials small enough to fit them is a great idea to recycle and stay organized. You're doing a great job in staying crafty, CJ! Thanks for sharing that! All the best to you! :)
