Candles: Jelly Jars
June 21st, 2008When I think of jelly jars, I think of visiting grandma and watching her open a cabinet in the kitchen stocked full of jellies and jams which she has spent hours and days so proudly making from scratch. I remember opening the jars, and there would be a gold ring which would screw off, and then a flat circular disc would remain and have to be pried off as well. These types of jars I remember are considered the old fashioned kind now, and that makes me nostalgic.
Many people like to purchase jars for their jellies and jams, and there are many different types and sizes you can find from glass jar suppliers. Many times you can order these jars from a candle making supply catalog, as many candle makers like to use these jars for candles. You can also order them from craft jelly jar suppliers and vendors, and you can find a large assortment of sizes and styles of lids.
Uses for Jelly Jars
You can use these jars for many different things like candles, as suggested above, or to put candy in, bath products and soaps, or spices and baking ingredients. I love to use jelly jars to hold pens and pencils or art supplies, and many people like to use them to store and label delicate ornaments or decorations in. You can find many uses for these jars.
Still the most common use for these jars is to first fill them with home made jellies and jams. Many people like to freeze the fruit in their jars and store it in the freezer until they have the time to make their jams or jellies. The jars can be used over and over again as they are washable, and they can be used for the above suggestions after the jelly is all gone.
