Materials Needed:
• An empty juice or milk carton (washed and dried)
• A jar with a lid (mason jar works best)
• A sharp knife or scissors
• A marker
Instructions:
1. Clean the Carton:
• Thoroughly clean and dry the juice or milk carton to remove any residue or smell.
2. Cut the Carton Spout:
• Find the carton’s built-in spout or cap (usually for pouring) and ensure it works properly for dispensing snacks.
• Trim around the carton if necessary to ensure it fits snugly onto the jar lid.
3. Trace the Jar Lid:
• Remove the lid from your jar and place it on the side of the carton (around the spout or cap).
• Use a marker to trace the shape of the lid onto the carton.
4. Cut Out the Lid Space:
• Use a sharp knife or scissors to carefully cut out the circle you traced on the carton.
5. Assemble the Dispenser:
• Fit the carton (with its spout or cap) into the opening of the jar lid. The carton should slot into the jar lid snugly without the need for glue or tape.
• Screw the lid (with the attached carton) back onto the jar.
6. Test and Adjust:
• Fill the jar with your favorite snack (nuts, seeds, popcorn, etc.).
• Test the dispenser to ensure snacks come out smoothly. If needed, adjust the spout or trim the carton further.
7. Decorate (Optional):
• Decorate the carton for a fun, personalized touch.
