Our Crème Brûlées and our dessert creams are sold in glass jars. In some geographic areas, these glass jars can be recycled. And everywhere, you can also reuse them by letting your creativity run free! Here are a few ideas to inspire you. They can even be done with family or friends for a fun, friendly moment!
Make lovely candle holders
Very easy to make, the candle holder will add a warm touch to your home. Start by thoroughly washing and drying the glass jar. You can then personalize it with glass paint, special markers, pretty ribbons, or by gluing on decorative paper patterns. Fill it with water to about halfway up and then place a small tea light candle inside. For an even cozier effect, add coloured sand or small pebbles to the bottom of the jar before placing the candle. Light it and enjoy the soft glow from your new candle holder!
Make a photo holder
Turn your glass jar into an original photo holder! After cleaning, fill the jar with small pebbles, sand, or even beads to weigh down the base and add a decorative touch. Cut a piece of wire (about 30 cm), make a spiral at one end (to hold the photo), and stick the other end into the jar. Then simply slip in a photo, a postcard, or a little note. There you have a lovely homemade photo holder—ideal for brightening up your desk or giving as a keepsake!
Add a touch of nature to your home
Small glass jars are perfect for mini plants or cuttings. After cleaning the jar, put a layer of clay pebbles or gravel at the bottom to help with drainage. Then add potting soil and plant a small cactus, a succulent, or fresh herbs. You can also try propagating plants in water by placing a cutting in it, which will grow roots. Place it all on a windowsill to benefit from natural light.
Create a mini jewellery box or a catch-all dish
Clean the glass jar. Line the bottom with a square of fabric or decorative paper to protect your small items. Decorate the outside with washi tape, a strip of fabric, or a ribbon around the jar. Use it to store rings, earrings, keys, or coins on a shelf or a bedside table. Simple, pretty, and practical!
