snacks in container This reusable snack container is a great way to recycle part of your next juice carton. It would also be a great way to store small items such as beads.

Supplies:

orange juice carton with plastic spout
Mason jar with ring

Steps:

Open the top of the carton, then thoroughly wash the empty juice carton. Allow to dry completely with the cap off. Wash the lid too.

Cut off a large section around the spout.

Trace around the ring, centering the spout in the middle. Cut out.

Use the Mason jar lid as a template to trim the carton top to the correct size to fit inside the ring snuggly. Cut out.

Insert the spout into the ring and screw onto the Mason jar. Fill with small snacks or whatever you want. Put the cap on and enjoy!

I also would like to say - this is a really neat idea. I just tried it and it was easy, quick and really works great. Now I just have to buy more orange juice since I have been recycling my containers.

My first "project" will be used for my kitties snacks. Now I can mix several type together so they will not get tired of the "same old thing".

Sorry you did not win but I missed this hint even though I receive (and read) almost all of Thrifty's tips?
