Directions
Step One
:
Decorate the Jars
I used this tutorial from Gingerbread Snowflakes to color the jars. Basically, you
mix Outdoor Mod Podge and food coloring together and paint it on to the jars.Something I noticed is Mod Podge doesn
’
t cure very quickly especially if it
’
shumid in your area. To speed up the process, a coat of clear spray paint will dothe trick.I also tried to use buttons to dress up one of the jars. I
’
m not sure if I
’
m a fan ofthe look, but it
’
s an option if you want to do more. You could also addsomething sparkly on the bottom of the jar to cause more reflection.
Jars all painted and ready to go!
