This swap is all about re-purposing those glass jars you usually throw away.
Lets make something else out of them, and send them to each other.
Some ideas for used jars would be: Pickle Jars, Mayo Jars, Baby food Jars, Any kind of jar that once held food.
Some ideas for repurposing them would be: Trinket jars, Candle jars, Vases, Gifts in a jar.
Let your imagination go wild. Decorate them anyway you like. Let's share ideas here about what mediums to use for decorations. You can even fill them with something if you like.
I’ll take names until August 15th, and all swaps should be mailed out by September 5th.
If that isn’t enough time for some of you, or if you have an unforeseen problem with mailing your swap by then, your buddy would appreciate a d-mail to let them know.
Now, open your fridges, look for a glass jar holding food… and eat it up really quick.
As of 11:30pm on July 30th
