I adore the colors of these treat jars. I get a retro vibe from the colors used here. I agree with Delphine Bryant, there could have been more detailed directions for this project. For some, the stretch of the imagination may be enough.

What a great idea to decorate some jars to make them look nicer than just plain jars and I can see them used in so many different rooms for different things. You can decorate some for a babys room and put in pins, cotton balls, q-tips etc..,a sewing room with supplies a kitchen and then the candies the liist goes on. A great tutorial on how to do them and so easy to do. Thanks.

I love The Dreamiest Treat Jars. They are adorable and would look really cute on a dining room table, a change from the flower arrangement. I love spring flowers, so I think I'll make a smaller arrangement to work with the jars when I get them made!

What a very cute idea. I have seen these jars for sale but never know what I could do with them. This is just the ticket. I would like to get the smaller ones to put into my bath room. Then put the words cotton swab, puffs, etc. on them. I can paint them to match the colors in there. Thank you so much for sharing this great idea.

#bestideaever-The best idea I can give you is make sure that when you give us a recipe that it can tweeted or googled or facebook and etc.. sometimes it only be printed and everyone doesn't have one.
