First taped off the glass with the painters tape to create a “window” that would give the skull a bit of a glow.

After painting the jar I then immediately wrapped it in an old rag and pressed it gently into the paint for just a few seconds. Make your own

Then, while the paint dried I separated the layers of the napkins to get down to the thinnest layer that showed the graphic. Make your own

To attach the images I painted on a thin layer of Matte Mod Podge onto the window area and then, very gently, laid down my napkin and smoothed it out.

The jars could be painted any color as well.
