Ingredients
  

  • 250ml Set of 3 Jars decorative, no shoulders; with lids removed
  • Gold Metallic paint DecoArt Extreme Sheen Champagne Gold
  • Gold Extra Fine Glitter paint DecoArt Glamour Dust in Gold Glitz
  • Ribbon gold, 1/8" thick
  • LED votives

Instructions
 

  • Thoroughly wash jars with soap and hot water and let them dry completely before using.
  • Working one jar at a time, squeeze a good amount of metallic gold paint inside the jar.
  • Gently roll the jar around so that the gold metallic paint spills on to the sides of the jar and coats it in gold. Continue until the bottom third of the inside of the jar is coated.
  • Next, squeeze a good amount of glitter paint into the second jar and swirl it around until the sides are coated.
  • On the last jar, squeeze less glitter into the jar so just the bottom third of the jar is coated.
  • Allow the paint to dry completely, approximately 48 hours before using.
  • Once dry, tie a piece of gold ribbon around the next of the jar.
  • Insert one LED votive into each jar and enjoy!
