Have a bunch of jars laying around the house? How about upcycling them in the bathroom!
You can upcycle glass jars in various ways to hold your toiletries. We have listed a few ideas to get you started below.
1. Our first way to upcycle glass containers in the bathroom includes a natural swap for your pearly whites.
Housing baking soda in an upcycled jar, as a swap from toxin filled and plastic housed toothpaste. Baking soda is a simple and toxin free swap to keep up your pearly whites.
Simply wet your toothbrush and dip into the soda. Brush as usual with a soft bristle toothbrush for best results. This will also whiten your teeth naturally over time.
2. Adding a simple pump to any glass jar turns it into a plastic free dispenser. This idea can be used for lotion, soap dispensing, shaving gel, and even styling products you may buy in bulk.
We recommend looking for lids that would fit onto a regular mouth Mason Jar, as many households have these jars already laying around from canning or craft projects. Mason Jar lids in brushed stainless steel, and Mason jar lids in oil-rubbed bronze look nice with any decor. Most Mason Jar lids and Mason Jar pumps are under $11 even on the high end.
3. Jars are perfect containers for even the most odd shaped of objects. How about considering their use for storing commonly used objects for easy access. Various sizes of glass containers can be upcycled in the bathroom to hold cotton balls, cotton tips, makeup brushes, various hair accessories, and even soap bars.
Consider this next time you are considering an expensive plastic storage container for the bathroom counter or cubby.
