                        Jars

  In addition to "fabric hats", etc., you can always paint the
  outside of the jar.

  Sketch a simple design; fit around the jar until pleased with the
  arrangement. Tape, design-side-out, to inside of jar.

  Following the pattern, paint with oil paints on the outside of the
  jar. Let dry.

  Remove taped pattern from inside of jar.

  Bake jars 1 hour in 200°F oven to set paint.

  Turn off oven but leave jars inside for a couple of hours to finish
  setting paint. Fill with food. Decorate lid as desired (e. g.,
  fabric hats, doily with ribbon blending with colors in paint,
  et cetra. Hope that this helps.
