I hate throwing out glass jars. It just seems so wasteful. I always mean to cook up big batches of pasta sauce and store it in them but I never get around to it.
So when the jars were starting to outnumber the actual glasses in the house I realised it was time for action. Pasta sauce? No. Relatively pointless craft activity? Hell yeah!
I came across this link on Craftgawker (oh how I adore Craftgawker. Too many tutorials, not enough time).

A few jars, some epoxy, plastic farm animals (purchased for the purpose, I could't steal them from O) and a bit of red paint. Voila, storage for little things in the Mini Mayhem office.
LOVE LOVE LOVE them!
