Tools and Materials for the Decoupage Jar:

Jar (I used a clean and dry spaghetti sauce jar)
Tissue paper (I used a pattern, but you can use any tissue paper)
Mod Podge
Foam Brush
Sand paper
Any other embellishment and glue you need to put it on.  I used:
Cord
Button
Elmer's glue

Let me know if you have any questions!

4.  Use as vases.
5.  Catch fireflies.
6.  Use empty wine bottles as candle holders for taper candles.
7.  Make a snow globe.
8.  Give gifts in them - chocolates, hot chocolate, little collections of crafty things for your crafty friends, homemade salsa.
9.  Fill them up with bath salts that you make yourself  .
10.  Ribbon dispenser. Just cut a slot in the top of the lid.
11.  Fill them with stones and sue them as bookends.
