We always have lots of paper/magazines everyday from our mail. And because of that I made this Jar out of it. The glass is a lid from our empty scented candle. I used it to make it look kinda fancy even though its just made out of magazine/paper. I love crafting as you can see. And I will surely share some of my stuff here. Hope you like it :)

Hi there BlueButterfly! That's a very nice creation! It's always nice to find creative ways for recycling and as for this project of yours, it's useful too. I hope that more people will be encouraged to recycle waste materials. It's good for the environment and for the pocket too since we can create things from trash instead of buying.

Wow, that's great! I'm sure the receiver appreciates it. I am a person who values a gift more when I know that much effort was exerted for the gift.

I so admire creative people. I respect those who can create as I know I don't have much of that kind of skills at all. Can we actually use the jar to put something in it?

That is a really cool piece that you've made and it is such a great way to make a good use of something that most people would typically throw into the trash. I know that we get a lot of junk mail here as well and I do reuse it but not for anything productive. Instead I keep a bag and throw the junk mail in it and save that until it gets cold outside and we will use the junk mail to get a fire started in our fireplace. Junk mail really makes good kindling.

The jar is really very beautiful. My cousin likes to do such things. He is very good at it. Once he made a sweet house using match stick. In my school days i asked my mom to do these things. Lol. You really have a very creative mind. Happy Posting
