Description
Create a soothing lantern using a mason jar, Mod Podge, and colorful paper for a warm glow that enhances your space.
Ingredients
- A clean mason jar (any size)
- Mod Podge or clear-drying glue
- Soft paintbrush
- Tissue paper or colored paper (optional)
- Glitter or sequins (optional)
- Battery-operated tea light
- Scissors
- Ribbons or twine (optional)
Instructions
- Start with a clean, dry mason jar. Feel the cool glass as you hold it.
- Using the scissors, cut strips or shapes from your tissue paper or colored paper.
- With the soft paintbrush, apply Mod Podge to a small section of the jar.
- Place your cut paper pieces over the glue, gently pressing down.
- After covering the entire jar, brush a layer of Mod Podge over the top of the tissue paper.
- If desired, sprinkle a little glitter or sequins over the wet glue.
- Allow your jar to dry completely; this could take a couple of hours.
- Once dry, carefully place the battery-operated tea light inside the jar.
- Finally, adorn the jar with ribbons or twine around the lid for an extra personal touch.
- Now, turn down the lights, and witness the gentle glow of your Sparkling Moon Mason Jar Lantern.
