Make animal jars

Making animal jars

Recycle jelly and sauce jars to hold all your little toys, item, and coins. Give your glass a new lease on life by making these adorable animal buddy jars to display in your room!

What you'll need:

• Clean, empty glass jars
• Felt, any color you like
• Pom poms (for noses)
• Scissors
• White craft glue
• Wiggle eyes
• Patterns

How to make it:

1. Print the patterns.
2. Remove lid from jar and line the top of the lid with glue. Pipe glue around the outside rim as well.
3. Place lid, glue side down, onto a piece of felt.
4. Wrap felt around lid and rim and hold snugly so glue can begin to grab. Sometimes felt will soak up the first layer of craft glue. If this happens, pipe more glue around the rim and repeat.
5. Trim the excess felt around the edge of the rim.
6. Fill the jar with whatever knick knacks, toys, or coins that you like.
7. Return the felted lid to the jar.
8. Cut additional animal pieces (ears, cheeks, trunks) from pattern to create animal faces. We used contrasting colors for some of our designs. For example, we used maroon for the red dog’s cheeks to stand out against its red face.
9. Glue these pieces on.
10. If creating the cat or dog, cut out long thin strips of felt for the whiskers and glue them on top of the cheeks.
11. Glue the facial parts in place. Use pom poms for noses.
12. Glue on wiggle eyes.
13. Tips:

• Get creative and make whatever animals you like.
• Use jars from jelly, mayonnaise, pickles and other condiments.
• You can use hot glue for attaching the felt to the lids if you like.

Bubble pictures

Bubble pictures:

Pour about ¼ cup of dishwashing liquid into a container such as a clean, empty butter container. Add small amounts of water and tempera paint until the color is intense. Place a drinking straw into the pain mixture and blow carefully until the bubbles start to overflow. Gently place a piece of paper over the bubbles, then lift carefully. The broken bubbles leave a pretty design on the paper.
