I store nuts, and seeds, and dressing in jars. I make raspberry jam in jars.
Sometimes I eat my salad out of a jar, I drink my smoothies, bloody marys, and bourbon out of jars.
I even make iced tea in a jar! A big ass jar...
I think mason jars are the best all around container. Not to mention they are pretty fricken cute.
And now I'm taking jars to the next level...
Introducing: Travel Cup Jars!!!
You're totally stoked on this idea aren't you? You can't stop thinking about how awesome these jars would be and you're begging your dad to grab a drill and help you make these.
You're not? Well I was. And so make those jars we did!
All you need is:
- jars with lids
- reusable straws- I found these color changing ones at target!
- a drill (I have no idea what size we used)
- metal file
- little rubber circle things (ask a hardware store)
Basically you just drill a hole slightly bigger than the straw in the circle top, file it down with a metal file. The holes we drilled came out really wonky so we went to a hardware store and got those black rubber circles to put around the straw. This covered the crazy drill holes and keeps the straw nice and snug.
Now I can take my smoothie on the road with no fear of spilling! I can be a little clumsy, but I fully rock it.
I'm in love with my new jar mugs. They would make awesome party favors like these guys did.
Things to consider: I think with more practice they would look even better, spray painting the tops would be adorable, and well these are completely awesome!
GENUINE AND SUPER CREATIVE...AND NOT TO MENTION PRETTY CUTE!
ReplyDeletethanks! I think I might paint one of these soon, maybe some cute stripes!
