Glass Jar Photo Frames
You will need:
A selection of different shaped glass jars
A bunch of your favorite photos
Doom
Paper Towels
Scissors / cutting knife
Ruler
Pencil
Step 1: Remove the label
After speaking to several people in search for the best method to remove the gluey sticky mess left behind when attempting to soak off labels on glass jars, I have discovered the secret is… Doom. No, I’m not referring Dr Doom the super villain from the Marvel comics, but rather the insect killing spray of death.
Simply spray a thick coat of Doom onto the stickiness, wait 5 – 10 minutes, and then effortlessly wipe away the glue with a kitchen towel. Rinse with hot water and soap. Easy as pie.
Step 2: Measure the Jar
Using your ruler, measure the height of the flat part of the jar (the part excluding where the bottle curves) – this is where the photo will fit.
Step 3: Cut the Photo
Using your ruler, knife and pencil, trim the height of the photo neatly, to fit the height of the flat part of the jar.
Step 4: Place photo into the jar
Slightly roll the photo, with the image facing outwards, and insert it into the jar upside down. You may need to adjust it with your fingertips so that it fits snugly into its new home.
Step 5: Display it!
Turn the jar upside down, so that it rests on its opening, and display it somewhere special!
Tips:
Use a selection of different shaped jars with different heights to create interest.
You can also use glass bottles, although this is a little trickier as you will need to roll the photo tighter, and make sure the height of the photo is as tall as the widest part of the bottle. When using bottles, do not place the photo inside down.

HOW TO TURN A DRAWER INTO A SHOE CABINET
A couple of years ago I avoided buying a shoe rack for Mikey’s room–shoe racks have never worked for me–by storing all his shoes in one of the large bottom drawers in his closet.
This worked well when he was a toddler with limited shoes.
Now that he is seven years old and active in both school and athletics, the system is failing. The drawer is still large enough to hold his shoes, but the result is a jumbled mess of scuffed and dirty shoes. I know not to expect pristine shoes with a son who plays every second of recess, but I did want to keep his dressy sneakers in better condition, especially since he only uses them for monthly liturgy at school.
I pulled out all the shoes, removed those that no longer fit, and vacuumed out the drawer.
Then I laid down washable, nonadhesive contact paper and an inexpensive tension rod, which could be the most useful invention ever, given I have yet to use it to hang curtains. In this case, I used a tension rod to turn a large drawer into a shoe cabinet for children’s shoes.
Once I had the bottom rod, or toe guard, in place, I had Mikey hold up the shoe so that I could eyeball where to place the second tension rod. This rod would act as the rail for his shoes. I didn’t need anything more than a rough guide, and there is no need to mark anything. Because they are tension rods, you can wiggle them around into place until you have it the way you like.
For example, when I repeated the procedure to create a second row, I realized spacing the toe guards so far apart was an inefficient use of space. I could fit more shoes and create a third row by tucking the second toe guard underneath the top rail of the first row. Target only had four tension rods of the size I needed in stock, but I’ll check back in a week or two. In the meantime, this is the new setup.
It’s a vast improvement. Now I’m motivated to clean those sneakers.
