Transform old glass jars into beautiful, colorful lanterns that brighten up your space with creativity and light.


Ingredients

  • Glass jars (mason jars, empty jam jars, etc.)
  • Acrylic paints (various colors)
  • Paintbrushes (different sizes)
  • Wax paper or parchment paper
  • Tealight candles (battery-operated for safety)
  • Clear sealant spray (optional)
  • Scissors
  • Ribbon or twine (for decoration)

Instructions

  1. Prepare your workspace by laying down wax paper.
  2. Wash the glass jars thoroughly and remove labels.
  3. Choose your preferred colors and paint the jars using a paintbrush.
  4. Allow the paint to dry completely (around 30 minutes).

  6. Once jars are dry, place a battery-operated tealight candle inside.
