Colored Mason Jars

Please Read ALL Instructions

You need 

one teaspoon of Elmer's glue

three drops of food coloring of your choice

mix colors together to get the color you wish 

 1, 1/2 teaspoons of water ..

Mix Elmer’s glue with food coloring and paint it on to any glass to make it look like sea glass when dry. In a bowl

Best Results use a foam brush

this may require 5 - 10 coats to get the color you desire.

Paint  the outside Mason jar or Glass Jar

 any color you want

then Seal the  Jar

Seal the jar with Epoxy Glue or a Clear Varnish to last

many many years of use if you are planning to use this

for Drinking or for food purposes .

 Coat it with a food Grade Varnish found

 in Craft stores

 These look really nice with candles, or electric 

candles, glow sticks etc inside them 

 ~Frisky

Optional ideas by Daw 

if you wanted you put tape on the Jar in a Goddess

 spiral shape or pentacle ,stars, moon, Sun etc other

 symbols and paint as normally and take the tape off

 then paint the symbol in a different color

and then when your done put a LED Battery Candle 

inside imagine how gorgeous that would look

or add a bit of Glitter to this for a Shimmer look



Paint outside the Jars not inside

and Only White Elmers Glue Works

I have not Tested this on PVA glue or other Glues

if you do not use alot of  food coloring it will come out light like this the Darker the food coloring the darker the color   experiment a bit and have fun

for mine I did  ten coats and very dark colors 

Now you might be wondering what to do with them

Well Turn them into Candles 

or Turn them into Storage containers  fill them up with anything you want
