Turning Jars into Stars!

I know it's a busy week for most of you, so I'd like to thank you for stopping by my blog today. This week, jars are the stars of recycling!

I scored this tiny jar of jam at a restaurant. I love this brand of jam and I adore the bottle & checkered lid! When it's all empty, I clean it up & turn it from blah to TADA!:

I made my own lip balm and used the jar
as a container.

{Find the tutorial here.}

Make a few extras to share with your girl friends!

    I've always loved these jam jars because of the plaid lid. This is a really fun idea.

    I always used to buy these jars too when I used to live in Canada. What a cool idea?

    p.s. how do you make your own lip balm? Could you post this in a tutorial?

    Cheers!

    Thanks Reese! You can easily make your own lip balm. I followed these instructions from Martha Stewart:
