Servings 1 decorated jar makes

What you need

  • Glass mason jar with lid
  • Painters tape (extra wide)
  • Scissors
  • Krylon spray paint

Directions

  1. Apply tape to jar in desired shape. To make a heart, place two overlapping pieces of extra wide painters tape on a flat surface and cut out a heart shape with scissors, then press onto jar.
  2. Keep lid on jar while spray painting to prevent paint inside. Cover the lid with tape to keep it silver when tape is removed.
  3. Allow to dry for approximately one hour before carefully peeling off the tape shape.
  4. Fill the jar with candy.

Hi, I'm Jessie. 

I’m a Los Angeles mama, home renovator, and lifelong creative, sharing the things that make everyday life a little more beautiful. I believe food is one of the best ways to bring people together, which is why I love cooking: it turns an ordinary Tuesday into something worth remembering. From recipes I make on repeat to DIY projects, home design, and a little bit of real life in between — welcome to my corner of the internet. I’m so glad you’re here.
