Certain animals might look better on a smaller jar, and vice versa.<\/p>\n<p><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  class=\"alignnone wp-image-3957 csco-lazyload\"  title=\"Glass Jars\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"Glass Jars\"  width=\"550\"  height=\"438\"  data-csco-sizes=\"auto\"  data-csco-src=\"https:\/\/www.brightstarkids.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/glue-animal-e1450751163843.jpg\" ><\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re happy with the animal toy you selected for a certain jar, then it&#8217;s time to stick it onto the lid. Use a skewer to put glue on the animal&#8217;s legs and if there&#8217;s any extra, remove the excess glue using the other end of the skewer.<\/p>\n<h4>Recycled Glass Jars<\/h4>\n<p>Allow it to dry overnight and make sure the next day that the animal toy is firmly attached to the jar lid before moving on to the next step.<\/p>\n<p><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  class=\"alignnone wp-image-3959 csco-lazyload\"  title=\"Glass Jars\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"Glass Jars\"  width=\"550\"  height=\"446\"  data-csco-sizes=\"auto\"  data-csco-src=\"https:\/\/www.brightstarkids.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/spray1-e1450751362904.jpg\" ><\/p>\n<p>The next step is to spray paint the lid part. Make sure to cut up cardboard for a spray booth you&#8217;ll need to avoid a messy art area. Spray paint can be toxic, so do this step outside.<\/p>\n<p>You can use old glass jars to keep the lids in place every time you spray or hold the lid yourself. Keep rotating and spraying until you get a nice, fine layer of paint on the lid and the animal toy.<\/p>\n<p><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  class=\"alignnone wp-image-3960 csco-lazyload\"  title=\"Glass Jars\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"Glass Jars\"  width=\"550\"  height=\"441\"  data-csco-sizes=\"auto\"  data-csco-src=\"https:\/\/www.brightstarkids.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/spray2-e1450751414587.jpg\" ><\/p>\n<p>When you&#8217;re done spraying on the lid, leave it overnight and let it set. Don&#8217;t touch it too soon or else, you will leave unwanted fingerprints or take the paint off.<\/p>\n<p><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  class=\"alignnone wp-image-3951 csco-lazyload\"  title=\"Glass Jars\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"Glass Jars\"  width=\"550\"  height=\"424\"  data-csco-sizes=\"auto\"  data-csco-src=\"https:\/\/www.brightstarkids.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/blue-bottles-e1450745263652.jpg\" ><\/p>\n<h4>You&#8217;re Finished!<\/h4>\n<p>Aren&#8217;t they so adorable?
