Upcycled Jar Canister DIY Project!

Have empty glass jars that you do not know what to do with? If so, we have a fun DIY project for you this weekend. I recently found this Upcycled Jar Canister craft, which looks easy and fun to make. I haven’t made this project yet myself, but I plan to very soon! These canisters would be perfect for holding sugar or pasta. Want to make this craft too? If so, you’ll need the following:

  • 1 Glass Jar
  • Acrylic Paint
  • Paint Brush
  • Hot Glue Gun & One Glue Stick
  • 1 Knob
  • School Glue or Mod Podge

PS: If you do not have any empty glass jars, head to your local thrift store. You can usually pick up these jars for around $0.50-$1. I’ve had great success at my local thrift stores, hopefully you will too.
