- Mason jars or any clean glass jars
- Red or pink spray paint (or craft paint)

Instructions
- Prepare Your Jars: Clean glass jars thoroughly and remove any labels. Let them dry completely for a clean surface.
- Paint the Jars: Using spray paint or craft paint and a paintbrush, coat the exterior of the jar with a thin layer of paint. Allow the paint to dry; you may need multiple coats for vibrant color.

- Add Texture (Optional): If desired, sprinkle glitter on the glue before it dries for a sparkling effect.
- Finishing Touches: Tie twine or ribbon around the neck of the jar for added charm. Place an LED tealight candle or fairy lights inside the jar.
