Start with one and add two below with e6000 clear glue. Add three to the bottom to those etc. Use the lids to hold content. Either spray the whole tree green or wrap contents with tissue so you cannot see inside. Use old Christmas cards to add a design onto each lid or wrapping paper circles.
Hi Jane, glue or screw the lids onto a backing board in the shape of a triangle or basic Christmas tree. Fill the baby jars with whatever you like and then attach them to the lids.
I've seen some very cute ones where they paint the top of the jar with red or green or alternating rims then add the numbers. You can put the jars into a wooden frame that you cut out holes & affix with glue or thick styrofoam. You could try to glue the jars together but you will need space to screw the lids on & off.
Many thanks to all of you that responded to my question for using the baby food jars. I plan to use several of the suggestions to make the advent tree…..Jane

Lay them on their sides and stick them together in layers to represent a tree. Hope that helps.
Thank you!
