Thread: Little specimen jars? What to do with them?

Tweet

Hi guys, so I work for a doctor and we have too many of these specimen jars at the office... What can I do with them??? And ideas? We are having a big party this year, so maybe I can use them some how? hmmmm...........

they seem a bit on the small side, perfect for little eyeballs, fake bugs etc... I use bigger jars and put all manner of wierd specimins in them, the things that grow when you put them in water look great with a bit of yellow food coloring.

Yea, theyre small... I was thinking I can use them for some kind of game. I literally have about 100!

Not sure what your theme is but if there are witches involved you could make them into potion bottles ... I used the wedding bubbles from the 99 Cents store, sprayed them black, glittered the top and added some stick on jewels ... tied a small label on them with jute ... i.e., Love Potion #9, Health Potion #58, Wealth Potion #7, Luck Potion #13, etc. etc. etc. I can send a photo if this interests you.

I'm trying to think out of the box here, but if I had those I would make a stained glass window with them. Now here me out, I'd make a foam frame, and lay the bottles all out on their sides with a different colored light in them (like Christmas lights). Something like this:
(edit: I had to add the dashes, I had it looking all cool with spaces but they get removed after I saved this post)

Now that's just what I would do. A little foam, a little hot glue, some lights, BOOM you gotta window.

I love the creativity
