Instructions
Preparing the Jars
- Clean the glass jars thoroughly and let them dry to ensure better adhesion of glitter.
- Set up your workspace by laying down wax paper or newspaper to catch any mess.
Applying Glitter
- Use a paintbrush to apply a thin layer of Mod Podge or PVA glue to the outside of the jar.
- While the glue is still wet, generously sprinkle glitter over the glued area. Rotate the jar to cover all sides.
- Let it dry completely; this usually takes about 30 minutes depending on humidity.
Finishing Touches
- Optionally apply a second layer of glue and glitter for a more intense sparkle. Allow it to dry again.
- Once dry, place a tea light candle or battery-operated candle inside the jar and enjoy the warm glowing effect.
Notes
Experiment with different glitter colors and jar shapes. Enhance your jars with ribbons or small decorations. Best to keep jars away from water since Mod Podge is not waterproof.
