1. Wash jars and lids well. Spray the lids on and once dry, apply metallic wax finishes for an aged look.
2. Fill a measuring cup with water. Add a drop of food coloring and stir. Add more food coloring or more water to get the intensity of color you want.
3. Put a toy or ornament in the jar and fill it with water. Screw the cap on tightly.
4. Using the labels, write a label for each jar. To age labels, gently tap or rub them on an ink pad.
5. Tie the labels on the jars with string.
