By following these tips, I started reusing the small glass Jar with cork which I have almost throwed away after exploring the food contained on it. I’m a busy person but I found it enjoyable to use my spare time (weekends) in this art while I am improving the whole ornamentation of my house. To tell you the truth, I am becoming addicted to it and I’m planning to make plenty of them for further selling them in the local market.
Anyone could do this simple and enjoyable activity. The best think is that after few days doing it you start using your imagination to produce appealing decorative products from very different sizes of glass jars including some without cork.

Step by Step Instructions
Start off by making the paper heart using a strip of paper and also your mini pair of scissors. For this you'll be working from right to left.After that, you will make the bottom right hand corner by folding it diagonally to create a triangle. Next, you’re going to fold it over to the left side along the vertical side, and finally you’re going to fold it down.
Now, just repeat the process from right to left and all you have to do is maintain the shape of the triangle as you go along.
Once you reach the very end just fold it over and then unfold that flap. Take your pair of scissors and cut diagonally to create a little arrow pointing to the right, stick that piece into that little slot, and slip it right in and then taking the long side of the triangle, you're going to put your index finger.
You should use your left hand and push it inwards to create an indentation right at the middle.
At this stage, you are going to squeeze the upper right-hand corner and also the upper left-hand corner to create that heart illusion. Then take your tiny pair of scissors and carefully cut it into a semicircle so that it creates that nice round similar to a cute heart shape you get at the very top. Then, make a whole bunch of hearts. You can make as much as you want or as little as you want is not very necessary to fill up the entire jar. Throw the hearts into the jar and put the cork on.
Next, you've to work on the unicorn horn in which you just want to give a little pinch on the lower left-hand corner of the sheet of paper, and you’re going to twist it until you create a cone shape and glue down that flap. Then, cut it with the itty-bitty scissors to create a cone shape and put some glue on the bottom of your unicorn horn, and place it right at the center of the cork.
Progress your decoration process by gluing flowers along the rim of your small glass Jar with cork. You can use any number, accord to the jar dimensions. You can use bigger flowers, a little flower or you can even hand make your own.
In this step you're going to focus on the ears of the unicorn. So, you are going to cut out a triangle shape to make one of the ears and then use that one as a template to make your second ear. Basically, what you are going to do is to stack the first ear on top of the sheet of paper and cut around.
Now you are going to be gluing the ears on, one on the right and one on the left, finally you are going to take the string, a ribbon, and tying it around the top part of your small glass Jar with cork tying a cute little bow and trimming it to size and you are done with your unicorn hearts in a jar.
After learning how to use small glass Jar with cork for home decoration, I normally produce two of these decorative materials per hour and use two hours per day. So, in total I produce eight items per weekend. I’m pretty sure that in a year I will have at least 420 items and if I sell them for $30 each I can get over $ 12,000. This would be enough for enjoying my holiday.
It is a very easy project and does not require you to force your brain on thinking quite a lot during the weekend. Without doubt I will stick on it until I get enough money for supporting my plan of traveling in the next holiday.
