Instead of tossing that spaghetti sauce or jam jar into the recycling bin, give it a new life. Keep your bathroom counter clutter-free by popping cotton swabs and balls, combs, toothbrushes, bath salts, and makeup brushes into different-size jars.


How do you remove the glue from the glass jar that is stuck on it from the product label? I've tried almost everything. I love to resue the glass jars.
I like to spray paint the lids; to make sure they are extra clean before painting give a quick swipe with a cotton pad dipped in rubbing alcohol and let dry. The metallic and pearl finish spray paints are especially pretty for the bathroom.
Most spagitte jar lids are printed with text. How does everyone deal with this. Do you paint the lid? What type of paint should I use? Thanks
