Earlier, I wrote about how with the use of plastic bottles to use in their own garden. Article gained popularity, and I even made a sequel. But let's think of the glass jars. Of these, too, can be a lot of things to do. This will be discussed in this article.
1. waterproof boxes
I think all gardeners faced with the problem of damp matches. It will help solve a small glass jar with a screw cap. Contents of the box is sent to the bank itself, and strike sharply tape pasted on the inside of the lid. Thus it is possible to keep the match even in the most humid environment.
There is another plus. In contrast to the box, so the bank is not lost and is always in a prominent place.
It is best to take cover with small margins, or to light a match will be difficult. Also, strike sharply the tape can be put together with matches inside the bank and get only when necessary.
If you strike sharply stick surface on the outside of the cover, it can get damp, although it is quite convenient.
2. chalet lanterns
Another great idea that can be implemented with the help of glass jars - this chalet flashlights. They can become an ornament to the recreation area, as well as point the way in the dark. Of course, the candles will not give a lot of light, but in darkness they will be an excellent assistant.
Make a very simple flashlight. You must take a small glass jar without a lid. On the neck of banks in several turns cheat wire so that the end of it you can make a pen. Tie a decorative ribbon on the neck and bring it down in a jar candle. That's all our flashlight ready. You can catch the branch of a tree, or hang over the table in the summer kitchen.
The wire is best to tighten with pliers. Just do not overdo it, otherwise chop the neck.
3. For storage of thread and needles
You also sewing kit stored in a plastic box? If yes, then it can be replaced by a box of glass jars.
Take old dense sponge or a piece of foam, circular cut therefrom Pincushion, cloth wrap and glued to the lid. That's all, our box is ready.
Of the banks do not fall out buttons, zippers and various little things. And needles and pins are always at hand and do not have to stick to the skin. In addition, this box looks pretty original.
4. Cottage vase
With banks, rope, adhesive and birch twigs, you can make practical and beautiful vase. For this fit any of the bank, it does not matter how it looks (Yellowed, scratched, chipped), It will not be seen.
Apply glue to the jar and tightly wrapped with twine her. This is to ensure that, in future, our branch is better sticking to the pot. Then choose birch twigs about the same diameter and cut off so that their length is slightly more than the height of jars. The lower edge of the branches should be flat. Paste the branch to the bank. That's all, our vase is ready. Design for reliability it is possible to wrap several decorative ribbons.
5. Hanging pots for flowers
The principle of creating a false pot for flowers is the same as that of a flashlight. Only instead of a candle in a jar, you can put a small bouquet or plant. It looks very impressive.
If you are ready to plant flowers, the bottom (where the soil) is better to rewind decorative ribbon. Since the pots will look weightless. And do not forget a pair of holes in the bottom of the can in order to maintain the water balance after watering. They can be made using a drill and a drill for tile.
