Ingredients
  

  • Set of 2 Jars 250ml smooth without shoulders; with lids
  • Glass paint in black and white
  • Paintbrushes medium flat and fine tip
  • White and silver paint pens
  • Decorative white lace
  • Decorative silver glitter adhesive tape ⅛” thick
  • Black grosgrain ribbon for making bow
  • Hot glue gun with clear glue sticks

Instructions
 

  • Thoroughly wash jars with soap and hot water and let them dry completely before using.
  • Using a fine tip paintbrush, paint a sweetheart neckline shape in the center of one of the jars using Glass Paint in white. Fill in the area before the neckline in white paint.
  • On the second jar, paint the center portion in white with a slight angle towards the center bottom.
  • Next, paint the remaining area of the second jar in black and allow paint to dry fully.
  • On the bride’s jar, use a silver paint pen to dab small dots along the neckline of the “dress”. Continue all the way around the jar.
  • Use the white paint pen to draw a pearl necklace on to the jar, just above the sweetheart neckline.
  • Cut a strip of glitter adhesive tape and press it on to and around the middle portion of the jar.
  • Use the silver paint pen to dab dots along the center white portion of the groom’s jar.
  • Cut a piece of white lace and fold the lace along the lengthwise straight edge creating small pleats. Glue the pleated lace to the lid.
  • Cut a piece of grosgrain ribbon about 1” long and trim the ends into a “v” shape resembling a bow. Wrap and glue a smaller piece of ribbon around the center to complete the bow. Glue the black bow on to the groom’s jar.
