Any ideas on what I can do with too many canning jar screw bands? I have a plethora of them & don't know what to do with all of them.

I am trying to be the person my dogs think I am.

I get up every morning determined to both change the world and have one hell of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning my day difficult.

I made these 'junkin' punkins' using old rings.

Peg...I made those as well for some of my fall decorations. They are so easy, and really cute.

I have a TON of canning rings myself - inherited mostly! :)

I've always wanted to try this idea of zip-tying them together to make a DIY canning rack. My water bath canner rack is getting pretty rusted so I think this idea is my near future!

And I love this idea for a lattice top "pie" ornament using a ring as the "pie plate"

I've seen them used as ways to cook scrambled eggs into a perfect circle shape on a griddle, although I've never tried it.

And this is an adorable idea to use spray painted rings to make a 3-D snowman!!!
