Where can you do with vintage cookie jars?

Vintage cookie jars make excellent decorative holders or display pieces that tie in the theme of a room. For example, a vintage cookie jar is easily converted into a vase for silk flowers or plants by inserting a piece of florist foam into the bottom of the jar.

A group of vintage cookie jars that have the same theme, such as aquatic, floral, stuffed animals, snacks or fairy-tale characters are easily grouped together atop countertops, shelves or cabinets to reinforce the intended theme of the room. Smaller vintage cookie jars also make great pen holders, while medium-sized vintage cookie jars are also convenient places to store straws or art utensils, according to About.com Collectibles.
