I just love how these peanut butter jars look as storage containers! All Dressed In Blue has the details - look how well the jar works filled with water and a rubber band placed around it to hold paint brushes for plein air art excursions! Perfection :)

Thank You!!
You can also screw the lids into strip of wood and attach the wood under a cabinet in your craft room! The jars can hold all of your small craft items!

Oh yes! We've been doing this for a while and have recently revamped the jars so we can keep track of the lids. I posted it today: http://myplumpudding.blogspot.com/2008/08/

I love this. I seem to have a plethora of extra peanut butter containers, thanks to WIC.
