Instructions

  • Choose four jars of varying sizes and styles. Wash with mild soap and water or rubbing alcohol and let dry.
  • Spray paint each glass jar with a coat of black spray paint and let dry.
  • Choose vintage photos to fit the containers and resize to fit. Print and cut with the scissors to fit the vases.
  • Before attaching the photos to the vases, use the awl to poke out the eyes.
  • Use Mod Podge to attach the pictures to the candle holders. Spread the Podge on the vase, a thin layer on the back of the picture, and then smooth them together.
  • Repeat until all holders are covered and let dry.
  • Use the awl to clean up the eye sockets on each image, simultaneously scratching the paint off underneath so the light can shine through.
  • Apply a coat of Mod Podge to each container and let dry completely before using.
