Ingredients
Materials for Fairy Glow Jars
- 1 each Clean glass jars (mason jars or any clear jar works)
- 1 bottle Glow-in-the-dark paint or glow powder
- 1 each A paintbrush or sponge applicator
- 1 each Blacklight (optional for brighter glows)
- 1 cup Water (if using glow powder)
- 1 each Scissors (if adding decorations)
- 1 each Twine or ribbon (optional for embellishment)
- 1 set Decorative elements (glitter, stickers, etc.) (optional)
Instructions
Preparation
- Clear a flat surface to work on.
- Lay down newspaper or a plastic sheet to catch spills.
Painting the Jars
- Open the glow paint: If using glow powder, mix it with water as per package instructions.
- Use a brush or sponge to apply the glow paint inside the jar. Ensure coverage for an even glow.
- Consider adding multiple thin layers for a more vibrant effect—let each layer dry before applying the next.
Adding Decor
- While the paint is drying, you can add extra decorations to the outside of the jar, such as twine, stickers, or glitter.
- If using twine or decorations, tie or glue them securely around the jar’s neck.
Activate the Glow
- Leave the jars in bright light for at least an hour or two to 'charge' the glow.
- At night or in a dark room, turn off the lights and watch your fairy glow jars come to life! For an even brighter glow, shine a blacklight over them.
Notes
Experiment with different colors of glow paint and various jar sizes and shapes to create a collection. For outdoor use, ensure they’re in a sheltered spot to protect from rain.
