Interior design ideas using glass jars.

Candlesticks

Hand-made and originally decorated candlesticks never go out of style. They are very easy to make: you need to decorate a jar and put a candle inside. Made of glass, candlesticks create a special atmosphere in the rooms, fill them with warmth and comfort.

A variety of materials can be used as decoration: paper bundles, colored threads, lace, fabric, spray paints, etc. Candlesticks decorated using dot and decoupage techniques look very beautiful.

Containers for plants

If you decorate glass jars beautifully, you can grow small houseplants in them. However, it is difficult to make drainage holes in such a “pot” and you need to be very careful with watering.

That is why many people prefer to use jars as a vase for cut flowers. Containers can be decorated with various images using decoupage technique, glitter, acrylic paints or corrugated paper.

Unusual photo albums

To prevent your favorite photos from gathering dust in albums, they can be displayed in a prominent place in originally decorated jars. For example, if you were on holiday at the sea, you can pour some sand with pebbles and shells you brought into a container and then place several photos inside. Or use a separate jar for each photo.

Useful containers

You can store anything in jars of different sizes: bulk products, useful little things, buttons, sewing supplies, decor for creativity and much more. Of course, they need to be decorated in an original way first.

There are a lot of options: you can decorate the entire jar or just the lid, instead of decorations you can put inscriptions in a beautiful font, etc.

Snow globes

Place some exhibits or even single figures in glass jars. Add glitter or other snow substitutes, then fill the containers with water and pharmacy glycerin in a 1 to 1 ratio. To ensure the durability of the souvenir, it is recommended to glue the lids with waterproof glue.

You can decorate your apartment with similar displays without liquid inside, for example, by lining the bottom with cotton wool as snow.

Flickering lamp

The outside of the jar should be covered with glass hemispheres, which are sold in any decor store. You can also use colored stones, but the main thing is that they are transparent. Then you need to place an artificial battery-operated candle inside, close the lid and enjoy the beautiful lamp.

Florarium

Small flower arrangements can be grown right inside glass jars. Pour drainage into the bottom of the container and a layer of soil on top. Succulents that are undemanding to environmental conditions thrive best in florariums.

In addition, unlike other plants, they can live in decorative colored sand, which will look beautiful in layers in a jar. You can also put small figurines, beautiful stones, shells, etc. in the florarium. And don’t screw the lid on – the plants need oxygen.

Party Decor

Instead of using regular pitchers, you can serve drinks in jars. Decorate the containers with party-themed decorations, such as pumpkins for Halloween or balloons for a birthday party. Then fill the jars with drinks, but not just liquid, but with large pieces of fruit (lemons, oranges) and aromatic sprigs of mint.

Oil lamps

Fill the jars with decorative elements – artificial or fresh flowers, pine branches, fruits, pine cones, pebbles, beads, viburnum berries, etc. Fill them with water, you can add a dye of the desired color. Pour a small amount of vegetable oil so that it forms a film. Place a disk with a waxed wick on top (sold in the kit), light it and enjoy the light.

Painted jars

In craft stores, you can find contour paints for drawing on glass, which allow you to create very thin lines. Find or print out a suitable drawing and stick it to the inside of the jar with tape.

Outline it on the outside with a black outline, and then paint the details with bright colors. This method can produce very beautiful and original paintings on jars.

There are a huge number of options for decorating an apartment using glass jars. Fantasize, experiment, try new techniques and you will definitely get a beautiful decor that no one else has.
