I love the idea of taking mason jars and turning them into spill-proof cups . Visit The Chick n Coop, where you will find a comprehensive tutorial showing you how to make your own Mason Jar Spill-Proof Cups.
The only change that I would make to this system is to use Stainless Steel Straws
Isn’t the point of the spill-proof cup that it’s won’t spill if it is, um, DROPPED?
We tend to have more cups knocked over rather than dropped. We use glass glasses and haven’t had one broken. My children were nursed, but when they did have a bottle I used glass bottles and never had one break.
I don’t intend to use these just for kids. We live in the country, so a cup with a lid keeps flies and dust out of our drinks when we dine outside.
I love this idea, thanks for sharing the link!
I’m liking this idea way much! So much, I’m heading off to write a blog post about it before I even make it. How’s that for lazy? Now I blog about the things I HAVEN’T done!
I tried using the rubber grommets and had a problem finding straws that would easily go through the hole. I drilled a hole and then took a tapered drill bit and hit it with a hammer a few times to get the size of the hole just right. I am very happy with the finished product! Very cute!
Make some of these for my son & his friends this weekend. Great way to put to use some jars & other things I’d normally throw out!
