Ok, I think I have a fetish for used glass bottles and jars. They are indispensable from my home. It’s exciting just thinking what these solid transparent containers can store. Salt, spices, candle and all that jam. My idea though is to re-use smaller jars to store trinkets and jewellery. Common it is that when we give a little jewel something to friends, it’s in a box. For most big blings, yes, a box is quite necessary. I thought perhaps a jar would suffice for smaller trinkets, and the presentation in a jar does look fresher than the norm. The original jar had a plastic green lid hence it was not very aesthetically pleasing. So I took the aluminium base of a tea light candle and cap over as the new lid. Quite interesting it was for me to realise that the jar opening diameter is of the same size with that of the tea light candle base. Alternatively, a cork would do a good job too. Finally for the embellishment, I took a fancy pendant from a broken earring and had it hung on a copper wire. The wire was then wrapped around the jar. The wire ends were twirled tight and formed into a little knot.
