Lizard Gets Crafty

Lizard used one of the snow days to work on a craft she'd been wanting to try. We "up-cycled" peanut butter and jam jars to make these. "Up-cycling"... not to be confused with re-cyling which is soooo two years ago.





Super glue a plastic animal to the lid, tape the jar so paint doesn't get all over it, and then paint the figure and lid all one color. I bought some glossy acrylic paint at Walmart. You can also use spray paint if you're worried about brush strokes, but what's the fun in that?










Once the jar is painted you can fill it with craft items like crayons, beads, etc.
