Re-purposed Baby Food Jars

Yes, I admit it I use baby food in jars on occasion and my baby loves it just as much as home cooked… **gasp.

If your like me and seem to keep them, wash them out and store them you may be wondering what the hell you could do with them. There are some really simple re-purposing ideas for jars like reusing them for vases, paint pots, home made jam’s and even home made goodies like the Rainbow Jar cakes but what else can you do? Well here are some fun and nifty ideas we’ve found:
