Have a growing collection of glass yogurt or pudding jars? Check out these 20+ ideas to reuse those small glass jars in your house.

I love yogurt. And for a while I resisted trying the yogurt in the glass jars for many reasons. I was afraid the kiddos or I would break the jars. The yogurt in the glass jars is much more expensive. And of course, what am I going to do with the empty jars that have no lids?

I try to follow the reduce, reuse, recycle lifestyle. So for yogurt I tend to purchase the big container and dole out servings as needed and then recycle the big container. If I do buy the individual cups I recycle them as well. A few months ago I decided to try the glass jar yogurts but only if I could find useful ways to reuse the jars.

20+ Ways to Reuse Glass Yogurt Jars

After you have eaten your delicious yogurt or pudding, make sure you thoroughly wash your jar before reusing it. I usually just give the jar a quick hand wash then soak it in cold water to easily remove the label. After the label is removed I wash the jar in the dishwasher so that I can reuse it.

In the Kitchen:
  1. Display succulents or air plants in the jars on the window sills.
  2. Store leftover grease for cooking in a jar in the fridge.
  3. Organize the dreaded junk drawer by holding small items like toothpicks, Box Tops, bottle caps, clips, etc in the jars.
  4. Use a yogurt jar to mix herbs and spices together before sprinkling on food (instead of using a bigger bowl).
  5. Put small amounts of condiments for picnics or build your own food service stations in the jars so that the big containers are not left out too long. Use this tip for parties or gatherings to save space on the table and prevent contamination.
  6. Place individual servings of small items (olives, pretzels, etc) in the jars and cover with parchment paper and a rubber band for use in lunchboxes.
In the Bathroom:
  1. Use the glass yogurt jars to hold small items like cotton balls, cotton swabs, or floss picks. I do this in the guest bath so those items are available for them.
  2. Organize make up brushes, nail clippers, tweezers, etc easily with the jars.
  3. The jars are great at containing small items like bobby pins, hair clips, or hair ties.
  4. Keep small items like adhesive bandages and ointment tubes organized easily by using the jars.
  5. Use a jar to hold rings, bracelets, earrings or watches when washing hands or showering.

Office and Craft Use:
  1. Store small office supplies like paper clips, staples, push pins, or binder clips in the jars.
  2. Use the glass yogurt jars to hold pens, pencils, Sharpies, or markers on the desk.
  3. Store bobbins, needles, hooks, buttons, and other small items for sewing and crafting in the jars.
  4. Organize washi tape, scrap ribbons and yarn, and stickers with the jars.
  5. The jars are great for holding chalk, markers, crayons, pencils, paintbrushes, etc for kids or adults while working on a project.
  6. They make great paint water containers.
  7. I put small amounts of whatever items (beads, pompoms, sequins, buttons, glue sticks, glitter glue pens, etc) in the jars to set up craft stations for the kids.
Other uses:
  1. The jars could be used to make candles in.
  2. Use the glass yogurt jars to hold tea lights and other small candles for display and when burning.
  3. You could also use the jars to hold small amounts of potpourri, scent crystals or beads, or other small air fresheners.
  4. I use a couple of the jars to propagate new succulents in.
  5. The jars would work well to start seedlings in also.

As you can see glass yogurt or pudding jars can easily be reused in your home. I came up with 20+ ways to reuse glass yogurt jars and I assure you I don’t have that many jars laying around my house. Just make sure you wash them thoroughly before using them!

    I have baked brownies in them and had various toppings (peanut butter fluff, whip cream, sprinkles, etc.) available for guests to put on top. I have made individual cheesecake as well and had a variety of fruit to put on top. Very delicious and guests loved the idea.
