My stepmom and I wanted to make candles in mason jars, but we thought it would be much more exciting if the mason jars were colorful! So I went about making a couple of them pretty!

Materials:
Mason Jars (or really any glass jar you want to tint)
Elmer's Glue
Food Coloring
Procedure:
- Put the glue in a disposable container. I used a paper plate.
- Add the food coloring one drop at a time, mixing each time until the desired color is reached.
- Invert the mason jar.
- Paint the entire jar. Don't worry if it's a little streaky.
- Allow to dry.
- Remove any excess glue from the rim of the glass with nail polish remover.
- Fill or decorate to your heart's desire!
Conclusion:
Mine is a little drippy looking, and I'm not positive why that is. I may have layered the glue too thick or added too much food coloring... I don't really know.
