Wax metallic finishes
Rubber or plastic toys, stuffed animals, knick knacks, etc.
Water
Food coloring
Measuring cup
Stir stick
Tags
Pen
Ink pad

Steps:


1. Wash the jars and lids thoroughly. Spray paint the lids and, once dry, apply wax metallic finishes to them for an aged look.


2. Fill a measuring cup with water. Add a drop of food coloring and stir. Add more food coloring or more water to get the intensity of color that you want. Place a toy or knick-knack into the jar and fill the jar with water. Screw the lid on tightly.


3. Using the tags, write out a label for each jar. To antique the tags, gently pat or rub them on an ink pad. Tie the labels onto the jars with twine.
