The Product That Turns Glass Yogurt Jars Into Adorable Storage

A common goal many people share is to reduce waste. One easy way to reach this goal is by reusing items that you would normally throw away. If you've ever enjoyed yogurt in a glass container (like the Oui brand), you may think there is nothing to do with these containers when the lids aren't reusable. However, there are many creative ways to repurpose yogurt containers to be useful and sustainable. This trick shows how a quick shopping trip for jar lids could create a unique organization solution and provide an exciting eco-friendly opportunity!

To create a cool organizer, take your glass yogurt or dessert jar and clean it out properly. You will also want to remove the sticky wrapper from the outside. This should hopefully come away fairly easily, but if you are having difficulty removing the remaining bits of glue, it may be worth trying Goo Gone or a substitute for Goo Gone. Then, take a moment to measure the jar opening so that you can buy a lid in a corresponding size. 

For the project, these Riavzau Oui Yogurt Jar Lids will work well. The products have silicone sealing rings that will help keep items securely inside the jar. These Super and Simple Tree of Life Oui Lids are also cool because of the added design on the top. You can choose from a few different design patterns, or you could always create your own look with a fun craft project. Simply grab some acrylic markers or paint and coat the outside of the lid. The markers allow you to create your own design on top, while the paint is better if you want to do a solid coat of one color. You can then add additional embellishments like glitter or ribbon around the edge. Another idea is to add chalkboard labels to the side or top of your jar. 

By the end of this project, you will be happy you decided to save those yogurt jars because these new storage solutions can be useful all over the house! Use the organizers in the bathroom for items like floss and cotton swabs, in the kitchen for small pantry items, at your desk for office supplies, or even as a candy jar for small treats.
