reusing baby food jars?
| Wed, 04-14-2004 - 5:44pm |
does anyone have any creative ways to recycle baby food jars? my community does have a recycling program, and we've been doing that, but i wonder if anyone reuses them around the house for anything.
my mom figured out that the gerber ones have a large enough mouth opening to put a tea candle in them, but you can only have so many tea candles...
any ideas?

My hubby uses them in the garage for nails and such.
I also used some to freeze homemade baby food in.

Sewing box for hundreds of uses.
Your own tool box
Plant seeds in with the kids to grow a mini garden
snowglobes. You glue a small figure on the lid. THen you use water glitter and glysorn
(glee sore rin how the heck its spelled) just a drop or two. put a bit of hot glue around the inside rim of the jar and snap it on. Instant snow globe.
Piggy banks or penny banks as by dd calls them. Animals or snowmen, house, huts, ....
We use some felt to make ears and glue on some wobbely eyes and a pipcleaner for a tail. (get creative) Sometimes my dh will cut slits in the top for me. But I just remove the lid most of the time.
The new plastic Containers are great for all of this too. Use them for Barbie shoe and other small toys. The stack nice and I don't have to worry about them breaking.

Another thing I've seen people do is make candle in them. You can get a candle making kit at the local craft stores. Im saving mine for this, thought it would be great christmas presents from the kids to grandparents.
