Chalkboard Candy Jar | Dollar Crafts for Kids

dollar tree candy jar

Need a cute candy jar for your desk? Or maybe you need a last minute gift for your childs new teacher.  This is a fun and simple project that you and the kids can do together ( and the rubber band part is an excellent fine motor building skill).  Let the kids go crazy covering the jar in rubber bands, choosing the color, and writing a fun message for the recipient on the lid! Head down to your local Dollar Tree for about $3 in supplies, dig in the shop for a couple cans of paint and create this cute candy jar for yourself, a teacher, neighbor, or friend.

Supplies
Dollar Tree Supplies Needed:

  • 1 screw top glass candy jar
  • bag assorted rubber bands
  • bag of individually wrapped candy

Additional Supplies:

  • spray paint-color of choice
  • chalkboard spray paint

Directions:

Wipe jar and lid down with alcohol and allow to dry- this removes oil and fingerprints and allows paint to adhere better to jar.

Wrap jar in rubber bands (try to use the ones that fit tightly).

Step 1

Set jar on newspaper in a well ventilated area, spray with a light layer of paint to create a tack coat. Dry for 2 minutes.

Step 2

Apply 1-2 more coats.

Spray jar lid in the same way with 2-3 coats of chalkboard paint.

Dry jar and lid for a 2-3 hours, remove rubber bands.

Step 3

Fill jar with individually wrapped candy, wrap rubber band around “neck” of jar to act as a holder and slip a piece of chalk in it.
