Bug Jar

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?  :)
