Hello, DIYers!

So many things we buy come in glass jars these days! All sorts of pre-made sauces, yogurts, drinks, nail polish, and more! Unfortunately, in the U.S. glass is also becoming more difficult to recycle. So to make sure that you are getting the most out of the glassware that goes through your house, why not try to upcycle it?! You can put them to use, turn them into something lovely, or make them into a thoughtful gift. It helps the world stay a little bit greener and there are so many amazing things that you can do with them!

Happy crafting!
