How to Make Summer Table Decorations with Glass Jars:

Thoroughly wash jars with soap and water.

Dry completely before painting.

For each jar, position a piece of painters tape around the circumference in varying distances.

For the smaller jar, apply only one piece of tape at about the middle height.

Start by painting the lower half of the smallest jar in Iris.

Next, paint the spaces between the painters tape on one of the medium sized jars in Coastal Waters.

Paint the spaces between the painters tape on the other medium sized jar in Soft Jade.

Repeat with an additional coat of paint for more coverage.

Ensure paint is fully dry before applying additional coats.

Cover the painted portions of the jars in Galaxy Glitter paint.
