DIY Snowy Mason Jar Luminaries
2. Use a sponge brush to apply a thin, even layer of Mod Podge onto the outside of the jar. You don’t want too much or you’ll end up with lines and possibly drips.
3. Once the glue has been applied, immediately pour or spoon over the epsom salt mixture until all of the glue has been fully covered; set aside to dry for about an hour.
4. Hot glue a small piece of greenery onto the top of the jar, and then wrap and tie twine around until you have your desired look.
That’s it! These look magical at night with a flameless tea light or even those small fairy LED string lights. I’m afraid to try using a real tea light with these jars only because I’m not sure if it would effect the glue (probably not), but I’m also worried about the twine catching a flame.
Mason jars probably work best for this project because of the smaller mouth opening. The lines in the glass top (where the lid would screw on) also help the twine stay in place. I made a third luminary out of an old glass vase but wasn’t nearly has happy with the result.
