Answer 4

One neat trick is to bake cake or something like a banana bread in the jar, and then use a piece of cloth and the canning ring to cover it.

Answer 5

I make christmas baubles. they are slightly time eating yet user-friendly and so efficient and thoughtful. purchase foam bauble shapes, beads, pins, sequins and ribbon. You thread the beads and sequins onto the pins and push them into the bauble til they are completely coated. Pin some ribbon down onto the right for the hanger. looks large and also you may make any trend or color. sturdy success and merry christmas.

Try Target, I saw a bunch of these last year.
They had mostly things like hot chocolate, cookies, fudge, stuff like that.

Answer 7
