It'll have to wait until tomorrow. I'm not sure my phone has a picture of Henry in his owl costume...</p> <p>Fun fact, his owl costume was made by my mother and then she crochet him one of these owl hats to match color-wise. I was so smitten with the design on him, she made me a matching one. It's adorable when we both put our owl hats on :D</p> <p><a href="http://www.repeatcrafterme.com/2012/04/crochet-owl-hat-pattern.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.repeatcrafterme.com/2012/04/crochet-owl-hat-pattern.html</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-could-i-do-with-baby-food-containersjars#post-532964 Mon, 28 Jan 2013 21:18:16 +0000 Bao 532964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NaturallyCathy: you could post it on this thread, we won't tell ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-could-i-do-with-baby-food-containersjars#post-532956 Mon, 28 Jan 2013 21:16:25 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 532956@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@prettylizy: Maybe when Halloween rolls around again :) It'd be kinda weird to suddenly pop up on the boards with a Halloween photo three months late. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-could-i-do-with-baby-food-containersjars#post-532928 Mon, 28 Jan 2013 21:10:54 +0000 prettylizy 532928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NaturallyCathy: you need to share a picture of this!!!!

Also, make sure they're super super dry before putting paint in or the paint starts to turn because of the excess water.</p> <p>Just FYI :) I used some of Henry's jars - which I thought had dried sufficiently - to mix my own paint for my Halloween costume? And because I didn't know of the above, I nearly ran out of enough paint to make the right shade of brown for my tree. (I went as a five month pregnant fall tree - brown yoga pants from GoodWill with glittery bark painted on and felt grass sewn onto the bottom of the legs, and a shirt painted with round dots in different shades of red, green, yellow, and orange with brown branches painted on. My son was an owl. Since he wasn't walking yet, I would carry him on my hip and he was an owl in a tree.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-could-i-do-with-baby-food-containersjars#post-532891 Mon, 28 Jan 2013 21:01:14 +0000 Bao 532891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lots of great ideas, thanks ladies :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-could-i-do-with-baby-food-containersjars#post-532875 Mon, 28 Jan 2013 20:57:28 +0000 MrsH 532875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Always good to store beads and other crafty type stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-could-i-do-with-baby-food-containersjars#post-531679 Mon, 28 Jan 2013 13:44:43 +0000 littlecasita1122 531679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm saving them to use for little vases for parties.

If P ate jar food DH would be so peeved with me, I already keep all the salsa jars, pickle jars, and soup jars. lol</p> <p>You could store things in them like the others have already suggested, use them for parties making cake in a mini jar, or use them to put party favors in!</p> <p>Here's one link I found with some ideas too!<br /> <a href="http://www.lilsugar.com/How-Reuse-Baby-Food-Jars-23154590" rel="nofollow">http://www.lilsugar.com/How-Reuse-Baby-Food-Jars-23154590</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-could-i-do-with-baby-food-containersjars#post-531633 Mon, 28 Jan 2013 13:31:37 +0000 JessiBee 531633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I actually bought one jar of baby food years ago, long before we were even considering TTC, emptied it out, and used it to take salad dressing to work with me. It's smaller than any tupperware I've ever seen, so it's perfect for that! Granted, that only uses one or two, but...it's something! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-could-i-do-with-baby-food-containersjars#post-531616 Mon, 28 Jan 2013 13:22:01 +0000 Weagle 531616@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I put coconut oil in them so I can have a little bit in every room of the house :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-could-i-do-with-baby-food-containersjars#post-531261 Mon, 28 Jan 2013 11:44:19 +0000 SugarplumsMom 531261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I plan to store some DIY paint in them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-could-i-do-with-baby-food-containersjars#post-531255 Mon, 28 Jan 2013 11:42:40 +0000 LaineysMom 531255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In girl scouts I remember making pin cushions out of them and putting a few mini spools of thread inside. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-could-i-do-with-baby-food-containersjars#post-531253 Mon, 28 Jan 2013 11:42:24 +0000 MaisyMay 531253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Put a magnet strip under your high cabinets and magnets on the lids. Use them to store spices, or if you have a tool area, to store screws and whatnot. Putting beans in them and sealing them shut could make fun noise makers for kids to shake.<br /> <a href="http://pinterest.com/lauriereeve/organize-fridge-pantry/" rel="nofollow">http://pinterest.com/lauriereeve/organize-fridge-pantry/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-could-i-do-with-baby-food-containersjars#post-531244 Mon, 28 Jan 2013 11:40:59 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 531244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My MIL uses them to store nails and screws in her shop. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-could-i-do-with-baby-food-containersjars#post-531230 Mon, 28 Jan 2013 11:36:10 +0000 Bao 531230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use jarred food for LO currently and when she is done with the glass jars or plastic containers I usually just throw them away. I feel like I could do something with them though, but not sure what. Any ideas? </p>
