LAST MINUTE GIFTS

I have a nice gift lined up for Jordan, but I decided to make a last minute keepsake gift to give him as well. A few moms from a group I’m in made these photo jars as a way to incorporate their babes into this years’ Valentine’s Day gifts. I decided to give it a try last night!

I gathered my materials: a couple small canning jars, a small black & white photo for each jar, vegetable oil and super glue to keep the lid permanently shut.

I simply placed the photos in and filled the jars to the top with the vegetable oil. The photos do float to the top, so keep that in mind if you plan on making some of your own. I put the glue around the inside rim of the lids and screwed them on tight.

I do love the way the photos are suspended in the oil, I think it gives a nice effect from all angles!

I’ll give them to Jordan to put in his lockers at work. I hope he loves them!

Happy Valentine’s Day!
