Crafting
- Tear or cut the tissue paper into small squares or strips. Use various shades for a vibrant effect.
- Apply a thin layer of Mod Podge or glue to a section of the jar using a paintbrush or sponge.
- Carefully place the cut tissue papers onto the glued section, overlapping them slightly.
- Add another layer of glue over the tissue paper to seal it in.
- Continue applying glue and adding tissue paper until the desired coverage is achieved. Let it dry completely.

Notes
Try adding fairy lights instead of a tealight candle for an enchanting effect. Experiment with different color patterns or themed decorations for various occasions. Make sure to use waterproof sealant if using outdoors.
