TUTORIAL

1

Paint the Jars and Lid-Ring

The first thing you want to do is clean the jars thoroughly  and prime them before you paint them. When they are clean and dry use acrylic or spray paint to paint the outside of the jar. You are going to need two to three coats of paint. Make sure to let the paint dry completely between coats for best results. Let the kiddos help with this part of the job… Kids love to paint!

To paint the lid-ring I used black spray paint.
