Hello! So, I know this might be a silly question, but here it goes- I have a ton of jars that I've picked up from adventures through the woods, but none of them have lids. Not all of them are your typical mason jars either. I was wondering if there was some sort of way to make cork tops or something in order to store some herbs and whatnot in them? If not, what else could I possibly do with them?
Hello, friend!Â
First, I'm going to direct you over to http://www.widgetco.com/corks. All the corks you could possible imagine! It's a fantastic website. But, if you don't have a lot of money to splurge on different sized corks in an attempt to find the right size, there are other options too!
A simple trick is to take old wine corks and shave them down to the right size for small jars. If you don't have wine corks, they are relatively cheap to buy online, or, you could ask some friends if they have spare wine corks (I know I have lots of them). Just please be careful while shaving the corks down with a knife!
But for those bottles which aren't a typical size or aren't smaller than the neck of a wine bottle, there is this nifty tutorial right here on how to make a faux cork.
And while I'm at it, here is a list of 25 interesting things you can also do with recycled wine corks.Â
Good luck with your jars! <3
