Cherry Pie is Functional

July 11th, 2011 @ 8:45 am by Mrs. Cinnamon Bun

I mean, we all know this Cherry Pie is. I’m talking about pie.

Unlike my other pies, I did not buy cherries in season and freeze them. When I was trying to figure out where to buy tasty cherries in mid-June, my mum told me about these jarred cherries (not cherry pie filling. ew.). I talked about that more in my pie recipes post, so today we’re talking about the jars.

The empty jars. I had four of them, they could be useful! They could hold… um… straws!

Functional, but kinda boring. Maybe if we book-ed it up a bit? Cut a couple 2″ wide pieces of book paper, tape them together, then double-sided tape them to a jar?

Less boring, but not yet awesome. Maybe if we add some ribbon in our other wedding colour?

Now that is a functional, yet beautiful jar! Two for straws, and two spares. You can never have enough containers, especially when they’re ‘free’. I counted their cost towards the pies, not straw containers, because I hadn’t planned on straw containers until I had these four jars sitting on my counter.

Did you end up re-using anything unexpected for your wedding?

Very pretty! Love the fact you’re recycling these instead of just buying something else! :)

Love the look of these! :) We’re not doing signature drinks, so unfortunately we won’t have cute stripey straws. I am very bummed about this turn of events.

Love how you decorated these jars! We didn’t end up using cute straws at our wedding, but now I have a mason jar full of pink striped ones on our counter at home. :)

I love that you’re using every bit of your materials in your wedding. I can already see them being re-purposed as an anniversary gift for whenever the glass anniversary is. Or, ooh!, for a gift for the first baby or first father’s day. The glasses all decorated remind me of something we put together for my Dad when I was younger that I took credit for but was waaaay outside the skill range of a 6 eyar old.
