We hate getting rid of jars. We’re so sure they’ll come in handy someday, but in reality a person can only use so many jelly-jar glasses.
We’re happy to say we’ve finally found a use for our motley collection of pickle jars, soda bottles and assorted glass receptacles: frames!
It’s so simple we can’t believe we didn’t think of it before: just slide a photo into a jar, turn it upside down and display your upcyclin’ genius for all to see.
p.s. Are you a super enthusiastic code juggler who wants to help raise Photojojo’s level of programmatic amazingness? Then you might be the part-time intern we’re lookin’ for!
p.p.s. We’re doing our first-ever Las Vegas Photo Safari with our friends at HP and PMA next Wednesday. RSVP now!
What You’ll Need
- A clean, clear jar (free of labels)
- Photos
- Ruler
- X-acto knife or scissors
- Pencil (optional)
Step 1:
Measure how tall your jar is. If needed, trim the height of your photo to fit the jar (i.e. a 4″x6″ photo will be too tall to fit in a 3″ inch jar).
Step 2:
Roll up the photo slightly and slide it into the jar so that the photo will be right-side-up when the jar is upside-down. Poke it into place with your fingers or the eraser end of a pencil.
Step 3:
Turn the jar upside down and display your simple thrifty genius in a place of honor!
Bottles: The Next Level
Bottles work just as well as jars, but they’re a little trickier. The photo won’t be able to unroll any further than the narrowest part of the bottle. There two ways to deal with that:
- Pick a photo that looks good when it’s only an inch wide, or
- make your photo no taller than the widest part of the bottle.
To use a bottle, roll up your photo tight enough to slip through the opening of the bottle. Slip the photo in right-side-up and maneuver it into place using the eraser end of a pencil.
More Ideas
- If you have (or know somebody who has) a bottle cutter, try cutting a bottle in half and using the bottom half just like a jar.
- Mix different sizes of bottles and jars, and line your windowsill with them.
- Use beakers or test tubes to add for that “Mad Scientist” flair!

9. Quando for entrelaçar a primeira fita, cuide para que ela fique desencontrada com a fita paralela a ela no fundo da caixa. Isto é, onde a fita do fundo passa por baixo da trama, a fita da lateral deve passar por cima e vice-versa. Comece tecendo da direita para a esquerda, parando a ponta da fita na última posição em que ela fique por cima da trama. Segure a fita nessa posição, pegue a outra extremidade e comece a tecer da esquerda para a direita, avançando para o lado seguinte.
