Recycle Glass Candle Jars

I thought I would share this idea with you..
I like to buy candles in pretty glass jars. After the candle is all used up I clean out the container and use it to store buttons.The buttons look so pretty displayed this way and adds a neat decoration to my studio.
The pin cushion  gifted to me by a friend is made from an old piece of porcelaine.Another neat idea.
Note: the star shaped button  in the bigger jar was on a darling dress my Mother made for me when I was about 6 years old.I now realize that button is 70 years old!!!!!

Maggie, forgive my tardiness in commenting. I'm catching up. This is a great idea. I recycle other jars, but never thought to with candle jars. How do you get everything out of there.

That is SO COOL that you still have that button. What a treasure!
