Ms. Mini Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 im sorry i dont.. have you tried looking at hbs.com or any other mini sites to see if they have premade cookie jars? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Are any of your friends PHNs or work in a pediatrician's office who could give you empty vaccine vials? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minis On The Edge Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 You can also use some paperclay if you have any and make your very own one in the size you like :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quirky Posted December 20, 2006 Author Share Posted December 20, 2006 Thank you all...I actually found several places that sell them but they are already filled with stuff and I want to do some special stuff in them that I made... I hadn't thought about vacine bottles..I'll check that out...I've made a few out of polymer clay but I need several that are clear so you can see the contents...I'll find something somewhere I'm sure :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 BTW the metal ring holding the rubber diaphragm on top of the vial will pry off with needle-nose pliers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shy Spirit Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Would cutting clear straws into suitable lengths work? You could glue the bottoms to clear acetate, and cut around the bases when the glue dries. If you can find jumbo clear straws, it might be okay. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peggi Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Look closely at caps on bottles and sprays. Some are clear and could be cut to the height you need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minilinda2001 Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 I have heard that pet shops with aquarium supplies have various sizes of plastic tubing.... While you are picking out shrubbery, gravel and stones for landscaping, check it out. Peggi, excellent idea re: plastic spray bottle caps. Have to have those mini-eyes open all the time, don't we?

KathieB Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 I've been looking for a glass jar look-alike for some time now, too. I found a clear jar with a lid at HBS/miniatures.com, Item #881100, if you're up to purchasing one. Clear Glass Jar $3.29 It says the scale is 1 -- not one inch, but just 1 -- and doesn't give the dimensions. I've ordered one just to see if it's big enough for a cookie jar. I've looked at straws and plastic tubing, but haven't yet found any with a large enough diameter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quirky Posted December 21, 2006 Author Share Posted December 21, 2006 wow....those are a ton of great ideas :) I even have a bunch of fish tank tubing...didn't even think of that !!! yep...those mini eyes have to be open and WIDE open all the time :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
