Make vases from recycled jars

This is a super easy and inexpensive project that will help brighten any room for Spring time! Also a great way to use up your old jars.

What you’ll need:

- Jars of any size (mine are old jelly jars), cleaned, dried and labels removed.  (Tip: Run hot water over the jars and scrub to remove the labels)
- Decorative paper, preferably heavier-weight paper
- Decorative ribbon in contrasting or matching colors
- Exact-o-knife or scissors
- Scrapbook adhesive or double-sided tape

1. Cut the paper to match the height and circumference of the jar. Most jars will have a ridge where the old label was placed. Use the ridge as a guide.

2. Tape the paper to the jar. Place a strip of double sided tape along both short edges of the paper, and carefully apply the paper to the jar, one edge at a time.

3. Tape the ribbon to the jar using the same method as the paper.

4. Add some water and flowers and voila! A new vase!
