Plastic peanut butter jars are great for storing small toys and art or craft supplies.
Regularly, we wash and dry our empty jars, peel off the label, and fill with treasures. To insure that the lids stay with the jars, I attach them with ribbon or old shoelace.
To do this yourself, first drill holes through the center of the lid and through the side of the jar, near the top, with a 1/8" drill bit. Then thread about 12" of ribbon through, knotting it inside the lid and inside the jar.
Now you have a storage jar with an impossible-to-lose lid! Hang your jars from hooks, set on shelves, or throw in drawers.

This is an awesome idea! I can't wait to put this into effect.
What a cute idea! We have problems trying to keep lids with jars. I may try to apply this on some other kitchen items as well. Thanks for Sharing!

I started doing this a while back at your suggestion (from a previous post) and I love it! Even my friends think they are darling. We get all kinds of compliments about them.
Wonderful idea! I also use pretzel containers to store seasonal items in the attic.
What a great idea. I love that the lids are attached. One less thing to find or pick up. Clear jars with a cute top, perfect combination.
Brilliant!!! I am going to be making PB&J more often just so I can get those great jars. I'm a little bummed that I've been tossing all the jars in the past. I guess better late than never!
