What You Need: baby food jar, colored tissue paper, scissors, paint brush,white glue, ribbon, votive candle.
How You Make It: Pre-cut 4 or 5 colors of tissue paper (or supervise preschooler with safety scissors) to about 1″ in size. Water down some white glue. Apply glue to baby food jar. Place tissue paper over glue. Paint over tissue paper to secure. Once dry, tie neck of jar with pretty ribbon and insert votive candle for Mom.
“We tried it” tip: Paint the glue over the tissue paper gently, or the paper may tear. If it tears, just peel it off or go with the wrinkled look!

This is so much fun! I work at a play center for children ages birth to kindergarten, and we are constantly looking for fun and affordable crafts. I added this site to my list of favorites!
Thanks so much for the compliment, Jill! I’m glad you and the kids are having fun. — Devanie
