Happy 80th Birthday Donald Duck!
To help celebrate his birthday, C-man and I decided to make a craft that could double as a party favor- if you were to actually throw a Donald Duck themed birthday party! :) This was really easy!
You'll need:
- clean glass baby food jars with lids
- blue paint
- paintbrush
- yellow or gold ribbon, rickrack, etc.
- red felt with sticky back
- black felt
- scissors
- glue
- white candy- m&m's, sixlets, jellybeans, etc. Party City has a good selection.
First paint the lids blue. If I were to do this again, I think I may glue a thin black ribbon around the side of the lid since Donald has a black band around his hat. While the paint is drying, do the next steps.
Glue the yellow ribbon or rickrack around the center of the jar. I used a hot glue gun, but I think tacky glue would work well too- and it would be better for children to use.Using scissors, cut out a red bow tie shape from the red sticky back felt and stick it under the rickrack.
Once the lid is dry, cut a small strip of black felt and glue it to the center of the lid. Fill the jar with white candy, screw the lid on and you are done!
C-man says we are going to do candy jars like this for the rest of the Fab Five... if so, I'll be sharing! ;)
Thanks for stopping by! Please visit my other friends who are helping celebrate Donald's Birthday today!

ReplyDeleteIt has been so much fun! Makes me want to have a Donald party!
DeleteWhat an adorable craft!! I want one!! I love that you can do it with little ones too, I'm always looking for fun things to do with Lexi!!
ReplyDeleteThis was super easy and I'm sure Lexi would love it! We are working on the rest of the gang now! :)
DeleteThese are too cute! I want to have a Donald party just so I can make these! I'm thinking I may need to make one anyway...I could use a Donald jar of candy on my desk! :-)
ReplyDeleteDo it! It does make any desk or table look so much better! :)
DeleteHow cute! Your little guy did a fantastic job. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Cindy. He's a good craft partner!
DeleteSo cute! Perfect favor for a Donald Party. Fun craft too.
ReplyDeleteThanks! We had a lot of fun and I think this would be great for a "real party!"
DeleteSo cute and easy to do! C-man has a great idea about making them for all the Fab 5. Can't wait to see those!
ReplyDeleteWe are working on them now! We sorted a 3 pound bag of M&Ms so we could start on the other jars! :)
DeleteWhat a cute craft! I need to make one of one of these. It would be perfect for my desk!
ReplyDeleteYou should Deb! They are so cute. When we finish the candy, i think I'll fill it with something else white, just to keep the look alive! :)
DeleteLove mixing a craft with the party favor, kid's love to show off their work. What a great idea!
ReplyDeleteThanks! It was fun and easy. I would actually do this craft at a party for them to take home! :)
DeleteI love that you can have the birthday "person" do the labor of love prior to the party. C-man is right, you have 4 more parties to craft for! ;)
ReplyDeleteI hadn't thought of letting the kid do it ahead of time! I was going to let the guests make their own to take home! :) We are working on the others now!! Stay tuned...
DeleteThese are so cute!! Love that you could reuse the jar for something else too.
ReplyDeleteI have a cabinet full of those little jars just waiting to be reused!! I need to come up with more ideas! :) suggestions???
