with Byrd Crescent

We’re excited to introduce a new column in Barry Magazine, craft corner with Laura from Byrd Crescent!

This simple craft is perfect for Mother’s Day or for a rainy Sunday activity with the kids, and they can be filled with all kinds of treats. Head to Awesome Wales on Holton Road for some plastic free chocolates or make your own truffles, fudge or anything you fancy!

All you’ll need is… • Clean jam jars with the labels removed • Small toys, shells or anything that can be stuck to the top • A glue gun • Spray paint in your choice of colour

Start by cleaning out the jars and removing any labels on the outside. Make sure they are completely dry before you begin.

Get a selection of trinkets you can stick to the top. You could use shells, raid the children’s toy box for little animals, or use some Easter rabbits to make it seasonal.

Use your glue gun to stick them to the top of the jam jar lid. Once they are dry you can spray paint the lid and the toy in one colour, we love metallic paint!

Fill them up with treats and you’ve got an easy Sunday afternoon craft which makes a perfect Mother’s Day gift.
