Question
Hi,

I am co-hosting a baby shower for my sister-in-law.  I would like to make winnie the pooh honey jars from baby food jars.  The only problem is finding enough baby food jars.  I don't have friends or family with infants so I was wondering if you knew of any place to buy the jars from?

THanks for any help!

Liz

Answer
Hi Liz,

What a fun craft idea you have! :-)  I don't know wher oyu can buy baby food jars without the baby food.  The one thing that comes to mind is perhaps contacting a day care center near you to see if they have some.

You might want to post your question on the Family Crafts Bulletin Board to see if anyone else has any ideas; perhaps someone there would even be willing to part with some baby food jars.  There is a share/swap section...

Why throw away toilet paper rolls or empty coffee cans? I also love all holiday crafts.
