In Reply to: Crafts using BABY FOOD JARS wanted posted by Barbara on August 03, 2000 at 16:02:29:
: Help, I have many, many, many baby food jars. I would like new craft ideas.
Hello you wanted some ideas i have a few
-i made a christmas tree out of the 2's. i drilled three holes in the top of each lid except only one hole for the top of the tree. i then added tensil in to each jar and put the lid back on in the very top jar (the one you only put one hole in) i put gold curly ribbon to kind of make it stand out like a star. you have five on the bottom then 4 then 3,2,1. after i hot glue them all together. once you are done hot gluing use a strand of (any color or multi)lights and put one bulb in each hole (so you will have to make the hole big enough to fit the bulb in) you can put a base of two-three jars on the bottom but sometimes it holds and sometimes it doesn't.
-next idea--use the jars as paint jars for your children
-next idea--use the jars in your garage hot glue the lids of the jars to your shelves outside. Fill the jars with nails, nuts, or bolts, etc. an when you are ready to grab one you just unscrew the bottom one.
i hope that helps you some.
