Equipment

Materials

  • Old recycled glass jars
  • Food coloring I used Neon
  • Mod Podge

Instructions

  • Remove label and clean jar.
  • Mix 1 heaping teaspoon of Mod Podge with 8 drops of food coloring.
  • Use a sponge paintbrush to carefully paint the outside of the jar.
  • Place the jar on a baking tray that has been lined with parchment paper.
  • Bake the jar in a 200 degree oven for 25 minutes.
  • Allow the jar(s) to cool.
  • Group jars on a board on a table.
  • Fill with water and use a single flower type to create a beautiful table centerpiece.

Notes

This Mod Podge is not waterproof or permanent. You could spray the jars with polyurethane for a more permanent solution. There is also a Mod Podge variety that is dishwasher safe that you can try. You could even invest in glass paints that are specifically made for painting on glass.
