What you need

  • Krylon Spray Paint (Glossy Red)
  • Mod Podge
  • Paint Brush (1")
  • Red Martha Stewart Glitter
  • Mason jars
  • Cardboard

Directions

  1. Turn jar upside down on cardboard and spray with spray paint, standing at least 12" away. Don't worry if not totally covered. Let dry slightly and spray again.
  2. Let dry for 1 hour in cold weather or 30 minutes in hot weather.
  3. Once dry, use 1" paint brush to apply Mod Podge to bottom portion of jar. Sprinkle with glitter. Work in sections so glue doesn't dry. Optional: seal with another coat of Mod Podge, though this reduces the glittery gleam.
    Tips: These are decorative jars - be careful as spray paint chips if scratched and do not get the outside wet. To create a perfect straight line, lay jar on table and use a piece of paper as a guide. Do not use tape as it will pull off the spray paint. Can also be made in green or blue for other holidays.
