For the past year I’ve been keeping all of our empty glass jars in a box. Instead of recycling them or sending them to the landfill I’m using them to get things cleaned up and organized around our home. Glass jars are perfect containers for organizing…they can be wash and re-washed when needed. Labeled and re-labeled as needed.

The first room that I reorganized using upcycled glass jars with their lids was my craft and sewing room. Oh my gosh, so many things fit into the jars and are nicely sitting on a shelf or in a cabinet. I can find everything I need quickly and easily. No more digging around in a box or bin!
As a prolific crafter I thought I would give you some ideas on how you can use them to organize all those small things in your craft room that are lying around.

In addition to the clean jars you’ll need a Sharpie Marker and Self Adhesive Labels. Then it’s time to get busy cleaning up that craft and sewing room…to get more organized.
