Repurposing Jars

When we buy food, we almost always end up aquiring something with a jar (or even a container) that, when empty, can be easily reused to preserve other food or to store inedible items.

This is a very intuitive instructable, but I hope it will inspire you to reuse something that you are probably throwing away and reduce food waste.

Supplies

Take an empty jar and celan it, the amount of effort needed will vary depending on what was previously inside the jar, but usually hot water and soap will be enough

Fill the Jar
