17. Mini Vases Made out of Recycled Jars
One of the most common DIY projects that you have probably seen on the internet for weddings is using mason jars. This can be a very cheap project for you to do considering that mason jars are available in 10 packs for $10 at Walmart. However, if you need a lot of jars, the cost can add up. And if you’re buying your jars brand new from the store, you might hesitate to recycle them at the end of the ceremony. A plan you might consider is to start saving your glass food containers leading up to the wedding, instead.

Pickle jars are usually the same size as a standard mason jar. There are all kinds of food in jars at Dollar Tree for just $1 each, but you’re getting the added bonus of having actual food to eat instead of just the glass door itself. In most of these projects, you leave the lid off of the Mason jar. So it doesn’t matter if the jar of food used to have an unattractive top. This is a good project to ask your family and friends to see if they’re glass bottles after they’re done eating the food inside. Over the course of a few months, you should have a variety of glass jars for free. And when the ceremony is over, you won’t have any guilt about putting them all in the recycling bin.
