Hi, all! I had planned on using baby food jars to make snow globes with my daisy troop, but with all that was going on we never got around to it. I came across an idea to use the jars to make cute valentine's day jars to put candies in. Here's the info for those that are interested: (by the way, I'm using this as part of their green petal for using resources wisely!)
What You Need
Fabric covered lid:
· Baby food jar and lid, washed and dried
· Valentine fabric scrap
· Low temp glue gun
· Pinking shears
· Yogurt lid (or similar size)
· Pen
· Red "Painters" paint markers
· Pink "Painters" paint markers
· Candy
Painted lid:
· Baby food jar and lid, washed and dried
· Pink craft paint
· Red craft paint
· Paintbrush
· Red "Painters" paint markers
· Pink "Painters" paint markers
· Candy
How To Make It
1. Use the paint markers to draw on a few hearts on the side of the jar. You may wish to add a TO/FROM on the jar itself as well. Let dry.
2. If creating the fabric covered lid, then trace around the yogurt lid on the wrong side of the fabric. Cut out with pinking shears.
3. Center the fabric, wrong side down, on the middle of the jar lid. Glue in place on the top and in places on the side of the lid.
4. If creating the painted lid, then paint with pink paint. Let dry. Paint red heart on lid. Let dry.
5. Fill the jar with Valentine candy.
6. Fasten the lid on the jar.
7. Give the candy jar to someone special for Valentines Day.
