Baby Food Jar Garden

Switch to Desktop/Mobile View

The baby food jar is a handy tool to make an indoor garden. Grab those old baby food jars and wash them out and be sure to keep the lids. Then purchase some silk flowers and you will also need a rolling pin, white craft glue, green play dough or green molding clay. Follow these simple steps to make your baby food jar flowers:

•Roll out the play dough or clay with rolling pin.
•Using the mouth of the jar as a cookie cutter cut out a circle. (If you use the lid as the cookie cutter you will not be able to close your jar when the time comes.)
•Glue the play dough or clay into the lid.
•Stick flowers into the dough or clay. If using play dough, set lids aside to dry and harden over night.
•Screw the lid onto the jar, carefully inserting the flowers into the jar.
•Decorate the lid with felt or ribbon to make a pretty bow.
