don’t have a pet,
you can make one
that represents your favorite animal! If you make some pet jars, share them with us at joyofcrafting@ gmail.com. Lastly, don’t forget to fill the jars with treats. My jars are going to humans, so I filled them with candy.
You can recycle any type of jar you want to use. You’ll just have to adjust the measurements of the pieces. I used these simple plastic jars that I found at Ben Franklin Crafts. They come in different sizes and I used the short jar and one that is taller.
I created some cardstock inserts for the jar and made the faces of pets inspired by my co-workers.
You can find an easy instruction sheet for this and many more projects at benfranklinhawaii.com.
