Hey all. I've been racking my brain for weeks trying to figure out what to do with these jars. We use them where I work, and the plastic is somewhat thin, but I hate to throw them away, when I know there's something I could use it for (Halloween related of course). Any suggestions? for size reference, that is a D-sized battery next to it.

I like to fill jars with water, a bit of food coloring and one of those "grows 600% in water" toys, they look great in my laboratory.

OH great idea! Especially if those toys were various insects. That would look pretty cool!

I was thinking along the same lines... some sort of lab environment... colored water, bugs or body parts in the jars. You could probably fit a fake hand or something in that thing, it looks huge!

I did what Keven suggested with two similar jars, although I put a CPR dummy's head in one and dismembered CPR dummy baby parts in the other.

Pickled zombie babies, maybe???

We used one similar to that last year for our candy bucket. Hid a haunted hedge in the candy and when the kids reached in to grab a piece it shook and growled. I liked that it was clear so that you could also see the eyes peering out of the candy.

If it were a round jar, I've seen people do a face inside the jar.

But, you could do eyes using the link below...

Or, another idea would be to use a brain or heart mold and place it in some sort of fluid.

I work at my county's recycling center and never even thought about fun with jars...but I'm so on it now.

Here's what I did with a pickle jar and one of those "grows 600% in water" toys. Even with clear water it looks pretty good and always made people stop and look when I had it on my desk at work.

These are great ideas! Since I don't really have a laboratory area in my haunt, I may end up using it with the haunted hedge shaker in it. That's not to say I can't get another one, so ill keep thinking about other ways to use it.
