No reviews

Transform clean glass jars into glowing, starry luminaries with this creative craft project. Perfect for beginners and adds a cozy atmosphere to any room.

Ingredients

  • Glass jars – clean and suited for LED tealight
  • Black paint – suitable for glass, quantity as needed
  • Star-shaped sponge or stencil – 1 each
  • LED tealight candles – 1 for each jar
  • Paintbrush – 1
  • Glitter – optional, small quantity if desired
  • Acrylic sealer – optional, for durability

Instructions

  1. Clean the jars. Remove any labels, then wash and dry the glass thoroughly.
  2. Plan the star pattern. Decide where you want the stars to appear.
  3. Apply the black paint. Use a paintbrush to coat the outside of the jar carefully around the star areas.
  4. Add glitter if you like. While the paint is still wet, sprinkle a little glitter over the painted surface.
  5. Let the paint dry completely. Set the jar somewhere stable and leave it undisturbed.
  6. Seal the paint if desired. Once the paint has dried, apply a coat of acrylic sealer for added durability.
  7. Add an LED tealight. Place one LED tealight inside each finished jar.
  8. Arrange your luminaries. Group the jars together on a shelf or stable spot.

Notes

Handle the jars with care to avoid chips or cracks, and store them in a dry place when not on display.
