Turn your baby food jars into a cute gift!

Every wonder what to do with old baby food jars?
I've saved a ton of glass baby jars over the past year, because they are just SO cute, and can be used for so many fun things!
These cute candy jars were so easy to make, and made great little gifts. All you have to do is cut out strips of scrapbook paper to wrap around the top of a jar, then a circle for the top. I'm impatient when it comes to gluing so I used hot glue, but you could really use any type of adhesive. After it's dry you can decorate these with embellishments or just tie it with a ribbon.

Then fill it will candy, and enjoy the treats! These are the perfect gifts for VT, YW's, teachers and can be used for any holiday... just mix up the scrapbook paper!

  1. I love the idea of recycling baby food jars. A friend used all her jars and filled them with Cheerios to give as favors at her son's 1st Birthday party. Will definitely save those jars next time around! Jenn@ thismommyloves.com

  2. Thanks for the idea! I may use this idea to make "favors" for my sons birthday party in a couple of months! Except I may use the square, plastic baby food containers so they won't break if they're dropped. So cute, I'm sure it can be used in tons of different ways!

  3. OK - that is a terrific idea! I have been saving baby food jars for projects for a while now and haven't found anything I was really inspired to do! This is perfect! I have lots of gifts I need to be giving for teachers and volunteers and this will be a perfect way to bust that jar stash! Thanks for sharing!

  4. So cute! I use the Gerber plastic tubs (when I don't make my own) but this makes me want to use the glass jars instead!
