I finally got around to trying these. I'm not a yogurt lover but they're pretty good. I like that it's a small portion. So now I need ideas for the jars. They're too cute to put them all in the recycle bin.

Search for Spega yogurt jars for ideas of what can be done with the Oui jars.

They're too cute to put them all in the recycle bin. I'm going to make little beaded macrame slings to hold them in with battery operated tealight candles in the jars. And hang them from a piece of driftwood or something. |

Going to use for candles. I did read that Weck lids (tulip I think)fit so I will use some in the kitchen as well as my craft room.

I have no idea yet. They have been run through the dishwasher and are sitting in my studio. I will probably use them for paint jars or storage of some sort. Not sure yet.

There's a whole "sub-thread" about these and the little blue ones you can only get in Europe (?) on the Studio Calico thread on the SB Board. They are super cute little jars. Might be fun to make some mini holiday desserts with them.

Thanks for asking, Gale. I have 3 or 4 of them. The labels came off very nicely after a hot water soak, but the glue on top from the foil lid is very stubborn to remove.  They are super cute little jars. |

Had to go see what the Weck lids were...lol...really like the Oui...I saved some jars back myself....just in case I could come up with something to use them for...just wondering on Amazon the white plastic lids come in small medium and large, what size do you think would fit? |

I bought this yogurt to try just because the jars are so cute!

Are they big enough to hold pens? I need some cute pen jars. Not a fan of yogurt but my kiddos might be interested.

I hate yogurt, but had DH and DD eat lots of those brands so I could collect the little jars. Mini desserts are what I use them for the most. They are perfect for puddings, cheesecake, sorbet or gelato. I also have one on my counter holding colored chalks for the blackboard. |

Mine just go in the recycling bin. I wish they had a plastic lid instead of the foil then they would be useful.

I tried that yogurt - I told my sister that "The Peas" reviewed it highly... but I tried it because of the jars. Unfortunately, my empty box issue (see other thread), along with my paper issues, now dragged into this little jar question -- I'm a freaking hoarder. Or I **could be**.
Thankfully, my sister shamed/helped/encouraged me to recycle the Oui jars.
But DANG they are cute!

They are so cute, but I don't really need more containers or projects. They've wound up in odd places around the house to hold change, papercios and rubber bands, even those wire wine glass markers. I still think they're cute, but they're serving a purpose. |

These are so cute! Genius marketing.
Pinterest has a lot of ideas for repurposing, including recipes for little desserts and whatnot.

Six fit perfectly in a tray that I use for my watercolor water.
I root my avocado pits in them.
They are perfect to hold gelatos and distress crayons at my art desk.

I think I am going to make some cookies that fit in the jar, then wrap with cellophane bags as little gifts, treats, table favors.

Then my advice is walk away from the Bonne Maman jams. You know, the really good jam from France, in the cute little jar, with the adorable red/white checked lid? Seriously, stay away from the Bonne Maman. Consider this my good deed for the day!  Signed, Bonne Maman Jar Hoarder, with over a dozen jars left....after donating a bag full  |

I had no issue throwing out the oui jar because it’s glass and will be recycled.
The one I have trouble with is the one that comes in the little terra-cotta pot. Kalypso. What to do with the little pot? Well not a real big issue because at $3 each I won’t be buying too many. Maybe not anymore. I got the one with an introductory coupon for 99 cents and it was good but not $3 worth of better. Lol
