We recently stumbled upon the super cute DIY blog of Jaime and Jacinda, the two super crafty mamas behind

jazzed up this old school project.

cute :)
I have one of those apple shaped jars from that apple juice company (famous but I dont remember their name). I put some soil and planted a bean sprout in it. It's not working as well as I'd hoped but it still looks cool. Lol!
I bought a bunch of baby food jars off ebay so I would have a way to store my homemade baby food. But those are really cute ideas....especially the little tea lights. They'd be such a fun addition to a room.
What awesome ideas, I will need to steal baby food jars from all the mommas I know so I can make some of these cool crafts. It is really funny that you asked if anyone had made butter using baby food jars back in elementary school because I was just telling my boyfriend how I did that but by using coffee cans!
We mostly only used the gerber baby food that comes in the plastic containers. But i saved all the containers i could (that my husband would let me) and use them for all sorts of things from sorting my buttons to storing home-made finger paint.
