Since I now have a grandchild, throwing away the baby food jars is hard. I have used them for inside drawers putting in small items, and have used them to keep things like nails, etc., but now I am looking for crafty ideas to do with them. Ideas?

Here's an idea. It's for Christmas. Glue Christmas wrapping paper on the outside of the lid. You'll stll need to be able to get the lid on the jar.
In the middle of the inside of the lid, use permanent jewelry glue to glue on a little plastic Santa, deer, snowman or tree.
Add a large spoonful of white, pearlescent glitter to the jar. Put the lid on the jar and glue it carefully shut with the permanent glue. When set on its lid, it is a little, waterless snowglobe.
Oh I remember years ago when all the craze was to make 'pickled bums', 'pickled pigs' and 'pickled people'. They are made from quilt batting and old nylons. We'd decorate the lid with gingham & ribbon and attach a label "Sweet Mixed Bums" or "Pickled Pigs".
Try filling them with potpourri, and cover the tops with lace and tie with ribbon. They make great table decorations for showers.
