Materials

  • 1 glass jar
  • ¼ inch painter tape
  • Paint pens any color and black
  • Spray Paint black
  • Acrylic sealing coating spray or paint on

Instructions

  • Optional. Using black spray paint, paint the lid of the jar.
  • Using the ¼ inch painters’ tape, create lines going around the jar. This should leave various shapes and patterns visible with tape outlines.
  • With whatever desired color, paint the jar using a paint pen. Tip: for a more variated look, make sure no one color shares a border with a shape of the same color. Any type of acrylic paint would also be useful for this step; I just find pens easier to maneuver on the glass.
  • Let dry and repeat above step until the paint is opaque and without streaks.
  • Remove tape gently, scrape off any excess paint on the jar being careful not to scratch the desired paint.
  • Using a black paint pen, create outlines around each shape.
  • Cover the jar in the acrylic sealing coating, make sure to do this in a ventilated area. Let dry.
