Create a winter holiday craft by painting a snowman on a glass baby food jar and placing a candle inside. You can reuse baby food containers, which would otherwise be thrown away, by making this environmentally-friendly craft. Make several of these snowman jars at once so that you can give them to people as gifts, or keep them for yourself and set up your collection of painted glass jars as a display in your home. The snowmen do not have to be packed away with the Christmas or holiday ornaments because snowmen can be displayed all winter long.
Instructions
1. Wash and dry the baby food jar to make sure that there is no leftover baby food in it.
2. Dip your paintbrush into the white paint. Paint three circles with the brush on the glass jar to represent the snowman. Fill in the circles with the white paint. Draw another snowman if you like, on the other side of the jar.
3. Dip your paintbrush into the black paint and paint three buttons on the snowman's front. Use your brush to also paint the stick arms that snowmen have. Paint the eyes and the mouth with the black paint.
4. Paint an orange carrot nose on the snowman.
5. Decorate the rest of the jar with white paint to create snow and snowflakes around the snowman.
6. Tie a colorful ribbon around the top of the jar and create a bow. Place the candle inside the baby food jar.
