Serendipity! Just got an airbrush and compressor working after being unused since 1988 and was looking to buy paint jars. A friend gave us a big bag of old baby-food jars only about a month ago and was thinking of tossing them! Then I remembered "lifting" some IV tubing as my husband left the hospital a year ago. TaDa!!!! Yes, I'm cheap! Thanks so much for this instructable! SharonH

Wow! Great idea! My sister has a baby and goes through at least 10 bottles of food a day with him! I will have to show her this idea! She might take up airbrushing just to reuse her saved up jars! lol! Cool instructable!
