DIY Upcycled Peanut Jars

Transform your old peanut jars into stylish, functional containers with these creative and easy DIY upcycling ideas. Learn how to repurpose your peanut jars and give them a new life with practical and decorative uses.



 

Materials needed:

Two  empty peanut containers
Two sheets of crafting paper
tape
scissors



Start  by removing the old label on your peanut containers 
Next, you'll want to wrap your crafting paper around your container. 
If you find that it does not completely cover the container, cut out a single strip to use later.

I found it easier to wrap my containers with my craft paper and make the marks I needed before cutting them to size. 





Tape your crafting paper into the container and then make necessary cuts to the paper using your scissors. Once this is done, take the last piece of crafting paper that you cut out earlier and place it over the spot that you were unable to cover. Take some clear tape and apply it to the container. 



Please keep in mind that you have the option to either keep or throw away the lid. Personally, I prefer to keep the lid, especially for the container that I keep in my car. In addition, I suggest placing a few packs of antibacterial wipes at the bottom of the container, which can be quite useful when you have kids.

I bought these small purple bags from Babies R Us a few years ago. You can choose any bags you like, as long as they are small enough to fit inside the container.

That's it! I hope you found this simple upcycling technique helpful and enjoyable.

  1. I love to see a good upcycle of any old container, these were definitely too sturdy to just throw away. They really would make an amazing alternative to gift wrap too.

I used a heating tool to speed up the drying process, but if you prefer, you can let it air dry, which m...

Keeping Blogging Positive: The Do’s and Don’ts of Community Support

The Do’s and Don’ts in a Blogging Community If there’s one thing I’ve learned over the years of blogging, it’s that the community can be one of the best parts of the whole experience — when we’re actually supporting each other. Blogging isn’t just hitting publish and hoping someone reads it. It’s connecting, showing up for one another, and creating a space where everyone feels welcome to share their voice. But let’s be honest: not every corner of the blogging world feels that way. Sometimes people forget that behind every blog is a real person doing their best. So I wanted to put together a simple, down‑to‑earth list of do’s and don’ts — the things that genuinely help build a positive blogging community, and the things that… well, don’t. Nothing complicated, nothing dramatic. Just the kind of common‑sense, supportive habits that make blogging more enjoyable for all of us. The Do’s: How We Can Lift Each Other Up Do show support in ways that feel natural to you Support doesn’t have to b...
