I hope you will not regret looking under cat. After all, making something from jars is not only useful in terms of recycling and reuse, making something with my hands, for example, I get great pleasure in the process of creating crafts and gizmos.
Let's get started - 11 fun ways to reuse empty baby food jars:
1 Souvenir candy flask with child's toy handle. We glue some kinder figurine, etc. on hot glue. and paint - the souvenir is ready. nine0003
2 Mini lanterns for the garden , more precisely candlesticks made from the glass part of baby food jars. We remove the lids for other homemade products, and we tie ropes to the neck, and hang them for them. Inside the candle and you're done.
3 Mini terrariums or cones for mosses and other mini plants. Comments are superfluous, everything is visible.
4 Cups for dessert. We use jars practically for their intended purpose.
5 Mini vases for one flower.
To make such jars of baby food, they dip the bottom in bright thick paint, then turn it over and put it to dry on a napkin. It turns out mini vases with figured smudges.
6 Spice organizer – food jars are small and you can’t think of a better way to store spices, besides, the lid is tight and easily removed, the wide neck will fit both a spoon and fingers. It is easy to do - we glue the jars with hot glue on the base, on the lids we make inscriptions with the names of spices and voila
7 Mini liquor containers. Of course, making such crafts from children's jars is blasphemy, but let's put it into action! Besides, who said that you can only pour vodka there. Take lemonade and a very interesting idea for a children's holiday.
8 Glass photo frames. Not a very popular idea with us, but nicely agree? We have already written about the creation of such flasks with photographers - a square photo ball on a Christmas tree, small food jars are also suitable for such crafts.

9 Case for paints, crayons and markers. We put it on a round lid from a large jar, glue it on hot glue. Jars can be painted in different colors so that colored pencils do not get confused. The idea is also suitable for children, it will teach them to order.
10 Miniature cones with snowflakes. The idea is taken from balls with spinning snow. Glue a toy or other miniature on the lid of the jar, fill it with liquid with small particles and the snowflask is ready. In the photo around Wall-E, garbage is probably spinning)))
11 Well, the last but not the last craft made from baby food jars is an organizer for DIYers. We always have a lot of little things for crafts, they just belong in a transparent baby food jar with a tight lid and an easily accessible neck. We make a shelf, put the jars in a row and the showcase for storing parts is ready.

Crafts from glass and tin baby food jars
Hello. Can't live without needlework? Let's talk about what can be done from baby food jars? Having fed delicious puree to our beloved child, we cannot throw away an empty jar, but wash it and put it in the closet - it will suddenly come in handy.
I propose to consider several options for their use.

What can be done with glass baby food jars
The jars can be used for their intended purpose for food storage. So that they are not boring, they need to be decorated. Spend time doing interesting things. Get original containers for seasonings and spices, jams. This can be done in various ways.
Painting with paints
Glass jars are painted with special stained glass paints, paints on glass.
They are sold in stores specializing in art supplies. The work will require certain skills, because the jars are rounded and the drawing must be applied carefully, preventing the paint from spreading.
While the paint is not dry, it can be easily washed off with water, wiped off with a cotton pad moistened with a special solvent. You can pre-paint the jar in a solid color, thus making the background for the picture. If the paints are stained glass, then the background does not need to be done. nine0006
For painting, special stencils are used, which are sold in art stores, or you can find a suitable picture yourself. Having attached the drawing to the glass from the inside of the jar, you need to circle the lines on the outside and color it.
Decoupage of baby food jars
Jars decorated using decoupage technique look impressive. The jar is painted white, preparing the background. Then stick the picture you like with decoupage glue. When a layer of paper dries, cover with decoupage varnish.
Special glue and varnish can be replaced with simple PVA glue. nine0006
If you paint the symbol of the coming year on the jars, choose the right size tray or make your own out of the box, you will get a charming spice set as a gift.
Decoupage with cloth, thread, twine
Baby food jars can be tied with thread, wrapped with twine, pasted over with braid. Although Winnie the Pooh said that an empty pot is much more valuable, it is still better that it is full. Decorated jars of jam or jam look great. nine0006
After they are filled with delicious content, close them with lids, cover with a piece of beautiful fabric and tie with a ribbon. Don't take your eyes off! A couple of such jars with different types of sweets and a wonderful gift is ready.
Small tins are useful for storing small things. It's easy to transform them, watch the video.
Decorating jars with polymer clay
An unusual way to change a plain glass jar beyond recognition is to decorate it with polymer clay.
Material for creativity requires baking, and glass allows this procedure. Anything can be molded from polymer clay. For example, a real house for a gnome. nine0006
By letting your imagination run wild and with some effort, you can create a real miracle. And the best thing is that you can create with your child. Children love to make crafts.
You don't want to hide a work of art in the kitchen cabinet and take out the right container if necessary. It is better for such beauty to hang a shelf somewhere in a conspicuous place.
Jars can be carefully hung under the cabinet by attaching a metal surface to one of the cabinets, and glue magnets on the lids. You can screw the covers to the cabinet with self-tapping screws. Take a design approach to organizing space. nine0006
When decorating jars for the purpose of using them for storing food, you need to remember that the decor should not emit harmful substances.
Do-it-yourself decorations for home and garden
I'm talking about all kinds of interior things with a functional load. First of all, about candlesticks. The original candlestick is easy to make using the methods listed above. Small jars of baby puree, turning into a candlestick, can create coziness and a romantic mood in the room. nine0006
Vases, photo frames, chandeliers, funny figurines, needle beds and even educational toys for toddlers you can make.
In addition to small glass jars, you can use cans from milk mixtures such as Nan, Nutrilon. They are perfect for storing pencils, scissors, and other little things. They can be painted, wrapped with twine, glued with buttons, decorated using decoupage technique. If you fasten several cans together, you get a real organizer. nine0006
Cans are used to make indoor and garden lamps.
You need to carefully make holes in the wall of the jar, and put a candle inside.
Arrange the lamps in the right places or hang them. Tin cans also make pretty bird feeders.
Cans accumulated a decent amount? Paint them in different colors and arrange a cheerful flower bed on the wall of a country house.
Need bird protection? Scarecrow doesn't hurt. Tin cans will come to the rescue. And you can also make an original weather vane, bright and lively. nine0006
Not far off New, on the threshold we will think about souvenirs with our own hands. It is doubly pleasant to receive a homemade gift, it carries the love of the giver. Various beautiful little things for decoration and workshops on making interesting little things will help us make a present.
Remember the snow globes from the Christmas miracle movies? Such a ball is a symbol of hope and faith, only a happy life lies ahead.
From the glass jars left after baby food, wonderful snow globes are obtained. nine0006
They are easy to make. But you can present a gift that is sure to make you smile.
