Glitter Jars Tutorial

A while back I went on a crazy with glitter and jars. I have a lot of glass jars (I have this random thing about collecting glass), and when I came across an article that showed gorgeous glitter centerpieces for a wedding, I thought this would be perfect! These are super easy to make, the materials are very cheap (under $10), and it is quick!

You will need:

  1. mod podge (a must in ever diy'ers kit)
  2. glitter
  3. duct tape
  4. foam brushes
  5. newspaper (so you don't make a mess!)


There are two ways to do this.  You can either have your glitter on the outside of the glass, or completely coated on the inside.  For the outside, you can paint on the mod podge on the whole surface, or use duct tape to mark off a line, and paint up until that line, and then roll the glass in glitter.


I chose to glue braided trim around the edge because my glitter line was not completely solid.

You could also use your foam brush to paint the entire inside of the glass, pour glitter in, and then rotate it so that the glitter covers the entire inside.





So go forth and have fun with all the glitter!  And yes, those are colored mason jars that you see on that bottom image. I will have a tutorial for that coming up soon!
