TWO OF THE
In south Africa, recycling is a way of life that not very many people incorporate into their everyday
Routine, mainly because most people are to lazy to think about what happens to the things they
Toss in the bin.
So instead of carless dumping your trash, one of the ways you can give a second life, is to reuse
Your glass jars, and use them as a novelty photo frame.
You will need:
A selection of different shaped glass jars
A bunch of your favorite photos
Doom
Paper Towels
Scissors/ cutting knife
Ruler
Pencil
Step 1: Remove the label
The best way to remove the gluey sticky mess after soaking off the labels on the jars, the secret is…
Doom. Yes, the insect killing spray of death! LOL
Simply spray a thick coat of Doom onto the stickiness, wait 5- 10 minutes, and then effortlessly wipe away the glue
With a kitchen towel. Rinse with hot water and soap. Easy peasy.
Step 2: Measure the Jar
Using your ruler, measure the height of the flat part of the jar
Step 3: Cut the Photo
Using your ruler, knife and pencil, trim the height of the photo neatly, to fit the height of the flat
Part of the jar.
Step 4: Place photo into the jar
Slightly roll the photo, with the image facing outwards, and inset it into the jar upside down.
You may need to adjust it so that it fits snugly into the jar.
Step 5: Display it!
Turn the jar upside down and display it somewhere special!
Or you have the option of a CD Cover as a picture Frame!!!
