Instructions

  • Clean the mason jar with soap and water or rubbing alcohol; let dry.
  • Add two heaping tablespoons of Mod Podge to a container. Add 8 - 10 drops of food coloring (you can mix colors) plus 1/2 teaspoon water and mix well.
  • Pour the Mod Podge into the jar and swirl to coat. Place upside down to drain. Allow to dry for 24 hours.
  • Apply an adhesive stencil to the outside of the jar and smooth down. Apply a small amount of paint to the spouncer and then test on a paper towel.
  • Sponge the paint onto the adhesive stencil, covering with paint. Once done, remove the stencil and let dry.
  • Dot glass paint on your mason jar to compliment the design. Let dry completely before using.

Notes

  • Alternatively to allowing the jar to drain, you can place it in a 200 degree oven and bake until dry (do not leave unattended).
