Tin and glass jars of coffee with a lid are ideal for storing various household items or loose products - tea, spices, coffee beans. Tightly closing lids will protect these products from moisture and preserve their aroma.
To make such jars look harmonious in the kitchen interior, you can remove the labels from them and decorate them beautifully - with acrylic paint, paper, fabric or any other material.
Pepper Mills
A plastic-based spice mill is often thrown away by the housewives immediately after the contents of the jar run out.

Now you can use it repeatedly until the mechanism fails or is worn out.
