Glass Candy Jar. Need a little pick-me-up? I have two “Candy Makes Everything Better and one Emotional Support Candy Jar ready to ship! With its colorful acrylic pour lid, each jar is as unique as your mood swings, and the vinyl label proudly declares what we all know—sometimes, candy does make everything better. This unique candy dish puts the goodies right at your fingertips. Whether you’re battling Monday blues, post-meeting meltdowns, or just need a sweet escape, this cookie jar style desk candy jar has got your back (and your taste buds!). Fill it with your favorite treats and enjoy the emotional stability—one bite at a time. Because therapy is great, but candy is quicker!
Speaking of therapy, one of the 3 says “Emotional Support Candy” in thin letters instead of the funky “Candy Makes Everything Better” slogan so make sure to pick the right one you want during ordering.
Sometimes referred to as grandmas candy dish, these jars are fantastic and unique gifts and they also make great desk decorations for your office or coffee table!
Each lid was poured using several layers of colorful acrylic paint and a straw blow technique. After drying, I coated each lid in several layers of clear epoxy resin. I also included a little bit of glitter into the design for sparkle, though it is covered in resin so it should not flake off and get everywhere. The last step for the lid was to gently sand off any thicker resin drops that had formed around the rim.
For the jar itself, I created a design in Cricut and used a multi-color permanent vinyl in several colors as well as shiny foil.
The candy jar stands 5 inches tall and is about 4 1/4 inches in diameter. It is not tall enough to store full-sized candy bars but you should probably eat those anyway. I mean, whys hare, right? Perfect for smaller candies or mini-sized bars.
To care for the jar, it should be hand washed only with no scrubbing on the outside. This may the vinyl (even though it is permanent vinyl). I would just quickly spray the jar and let air dry. There is no design, decoration, or material for the interior so if you want to scrub out the insides with soapy water, that will be fine. This is NOT meant for the dishwasher or hot water. Hot water can and will damage the resin on the lid and could also affect the acrylic paint under the resin.
