What You Will Need

Instructions

  • First, add your pouring medium to your plastic cups.
  • Add the paint to each of your plastic cups with the pouring medium.
    I think a 1:1 ratio works best, but if you think the paint seems to be too thick or too thin, feel free to adjust that ratio slightly.
  • Use the craft sticks to start adding paint to your mason jar. Get some paint on your stick and hold the stick over the mason jar, allowing the paint to drip off the stick and down onto the glass jar.
  • Tilt the jar up and down, and side to side to allow the paint to run all over the sides. Keep adding the paint and tilting the jar until you get complete coverage.
  • Once your mason jar is completely covered, turn it upside down and place it on top of a plasic cup which will act as a stand to allow your paint to dry.
    Please note that the plastic cup will get paint on it so use something you don't mind getting ruined.
  • Repeat this process for any additional jars and allow all jars to sit overnight to dry completely.
  • Carefully remove the mason jars from their plastic cup stands and gently remove any excess paint that dripped down over the top of the jars.
