I have my mom to thank for this craft. She made some bug jars for my boys and they got to decorate them. Here is how she made them.
She used a clean plastic mayonnaise jar and poked a small hole in each side near the top. Then she put one end of a pipe cleaner in each hole and twisted the ends to make a sort of knot. This made the handle.
Next, she cut a piece of screen material (think windows) to fit inside of a regular mouth canning jar and hot glued it in place.
My boys had a great time using permanent markers and some bug stickers to decorate their jars.
Boys and hunting for bugs go hand in hand, don’t they?
