HOW TO DO IT
For the Velvety Jewel Candy Jar
* Wash and dry a food jar and lid.
* Line a cardboard box with wax paper.
* Remove the lid. Using a damp brush, apply a generous amount of adhesive. Place the lid in the box lined with wax paper. Immediately apply fibers.
* Allow lid to dry overnight.
* Glue craft jewels on top and around the edge of the lid.
* Fill with SNO-CAPS.
For the Fabric Topped Candy Jar
* Cut a circle out of fabric about and inch and a half wider around than the size of the lid.
* Glue a few cotton balls on the lid of the jar with non-toxic fabric glue.
* Place the circle of fabric over the cotton balls.
* Have a grown up help glue the fabric to the edge of the lid using a craft glue gun, there will be about 1" of fabric extending below the lid. Glue a 1/4-inch wide piece of ribbon, about 8" long, around the rim of the jar and tie it in a bow at the front.
* At the ends of the ribbon, add a decorative bead, and secure with a knot.
* Fill with RAISINETS.
For the Clay Candy Jar
* Start with a ball of clay, about the size of a tangerine and mold it over the lid, making sure you cover the edge.
* Poke a hole into the clay using a paperclip; this is where you will insert your butterfly.
* Let it dry overnight.
* Using non-toxic acrylic paint apply a coat of yellow over the entire clay lid. Let it dry.
* With a pencil, draw several circles of various sizes on the clay lid.
* With the remaining three colors, paint in the circles. Let it dry
* Insert butterfly in the hole you made, securing it with a dab of glue.
* Fill with GOOBERS.
