How to Make Fairy Glow Jars

If you are feeling crafty and want a cheap, easy way to decorate your room, then Fairy Glow Jars will be a fun project for you. They are (mostly) mess-free, and easy to make if you're not the best at DIY projects.


You will need:


-glow in the dark fabric paint
-elmer's glue
-either a small or a large mason jar with a lid
-two paint brushes (one with a pointed tip and one with a flat tip)
-glitter
-a paper plate (or something else to minimize the mess)



Step 1:


Apply a thin layer of Elmer's glue to the part of the lid that doesn't screw onto the jar. Then, sprinkle a generous amount of glitter onto the lid. Set aside to dry.


Step 2:




Squeeze a little bit of each color paint that you want to use on the paper plate. Use the pointed paint brush to dot the inside of the jar with paint. Make sure you do the bottom first, so the paint doesn't smudge on the sides.




Step 3:




Screw the lid on and let the jar sit under a lamp or in the sun for 15-20 minutes. When the time's up, your jar should look like this in the dark:



Voila! You have a Fairy Glow Jar.
