Do you have any other repurposed baby stuff in use?
I took 17 baby food bottles, removed the metal lids, poked holes in the lids large enough to put small Christmas lights through and spray painted the lids white. After the paint dried I screwed the lids back onto the jars, then I glued the bottles together in rows to form a Christmas Tree shape: 1 on top, 2, then 3, 4, and 5, with 2 more to stabilize the base of the tree. I let the glue set and cure on the glass jars for 24 hours.
Next, I took a strand of 100 colored, twinkling lights and starting from row 1 with 1 jar, put about 5 lights inside of each of the jars and worked my way down left to right and right to left so that the plug ends up on the bottom. First, I double checked to make sure all of the lights on the strand worked and twinkled. Then, I went back through and placed a small amount of tinsel inside the jars loosely around the lights to give a nice glittering reflection. I plugged the lights into an outlet and viola! I have a lovely little Christmas Tree to set in the window. I made one with each of my boy's baby food jars and get a lot of complements about them.
My husband on the other hand, was not thrilled about me saving baby food jars but they have come in handy for many projects.
