About a month ago, I started saving all the glass jars that we otherwise would have put in the recycling bin in order to create a slightly different take on the traditional Easter basket:  an Easter candy Jar!

TitleCard
Fill it with your treat of choice — jellybeans, chocolate, Peeps, etc.  Besides being super cute, it's actually a great way to keep the candy fresh in an infinitely resealable container!

Here's the how-to:

Supplies:

If you don't like the chalky finish of the paint, use a glossy top coat with clear spray paint.

I hope you'll give this project a try!

  • Very clever, Julie! One of my gel print class students is interested in taking Boot Camp, so I’ve been singing your praises – one of which is that you are a ferocious creative force. This project just proves that point!! You are amazing.
    Looking forward to Art Pieces class…..
