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.

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.
