Jennifer, thanks for sharing. I have been keeping glass juice jars (qt.) and though they have a narrower neck, I do the same for watering my seedlings I start in the house. The smaller lid size makes for more controlled watering and doesn't wash away the seeds when they are first planted in the loose potting soil. Works great. I've been using an ice pick to make the holes but I like the drill bit idea better and think I'll try that. Jami in WA
That is a really cute idea - and yes those sweet lil' jars are jus' to pretty to cast off. And Nancy Jo had a good point about using it for glitter. Thanks so much for sharing. I'll look at my jelly jars differently from now on! Happy Crafting!
I have to share a side affect of using an old spice bottle for my baking soda shaker. The spice bottle was cinnamon and now when I 'shake' every sprinkle is cinnamon. It smells so good to clean!!! lol
Gals I'm new here but I wanted to jump in and say what a neat little gifty thing this would be. Do yall still have pantry poundings? or some such. We do here occasionally. This would be great to add this to a basket with different uses for baking powder that have been discussed. Throw in some other earth friendly products , that you make or buy and hand it over to the new owners of the new home or to a new just married farm gal. Thanks for this tip, I have enjoyed reading the posts here.
