I recently styled and designed a Dinosaur Excavation birthday party for my two boys, Carter and Braxton!
Everyone loved the trail mix station, particularly the dinosaur jars! So I put together a tutorial so you can create one of your own!
You can make these cute little dinosaur jars for your mini trail mix station for less than $30!!!!

Let's get started!
Picture
Materials list
-Glass jars with lids (I found mine at the Dollar Tree.)
-Plastic toy dinosaurs (Again, a Dollar Tree find)
-Adhesive (I used hot glue but I do not recommend this. I suggest gorilla glue or superglue)
-Spray paint
-Treat bags (I purchased the white treat bags from Michaels)
-Spoon tongs (Dollar Tree)
-Ribbon (Optional)
-Labels (Optional)
Picture
Using your Gorilla glue or superglue, adhere the toy dinosaurs to each jar lid by placing the glue on the bottom of the dinosaurs feet and tail. Easy peasy!
Set aside and let dry according to the directions on the glue package.

Once dry, grab your spray paint, shake really well and then apply two even coats. Allow to dry in between coats.
Picture
I used Rust-oleum brand Citrus Green colored spray paint but any color would look awesome. Even using multiple colors would be fun!
Picture
Once your cute little dinosaur lids are dry, you can add your labeling, if you'd like. It's not necessary, but it's a super cute add on.

​Lastly, add your trail mix selections!!! I used pretzels, raisins, craisins, peanuts, almonds, sunflower seeds and m&ms. Grab your treat bags and tongs and you're all done!
