So, let’s think KITCHEN and take a visit there first. These bottles (jars) can be used by foodies or those who enjoy making their own homemade salad dressings, or preserving jellies and jams, or for housing fresh herbs, or storing small candies in, or simply to hold liquids—as the list of their usefulness is endless in the kitchen and or food pantry.

This bottle was and is being used for salad dressings.

Next, let’s make a bathroom visit. A very important way to make use of these empty jars in the john is by storing cotton balls, pot pourri, Qtips, dental sticks, or to hold toothbrushes. Of course, how you will use them here or anywhere else for that matter will depend largely on the jar or bottle’s design, and for most of what is listed above, a bottle or jar with a wide mouth would be required.

This was a pasta sauce bottle but is now being used as a measuring glass. However, with its wide mouth it can also be used in the bathroom to hold things like cotton balls.

Our final trek in this post will end with the living room. Depending once again on the style of the jar or bottle, I’ve found that the best way to use them here in this part of the house is as a vase to hold flowers.

This old sangria bottle can serve as a modern vase for flowers.

No matter how you pile them up, many empty glass bottles and jars can prove to be extremely useful somewhere in the home. Though we can’t repurpose or keep them all for use in our homes, we should definitely explore ways as to if and how we can make them useful and functional and thereby forgo unnecessary purchases especially with these at our disposal. Just use your own imagination and remember to wash and sterilize them first.
