- Preserve jar clean and dry
- A heart cutout from card stock
- Acrylic paints in red or blue and white
- Wide soft brush
- Old toothbrush
- Finishing spray
- Glue stick
- Glue the heart cutout lightly to the jar with a glue stick.
- Using a wide soft brush, apply an even coat of red or blue paint to the outside of the jar. Allow to dry.
- Apply a second coat of paint, brushing in the opposite direction of the first coat. Allow to dry.
- Dip an old toothbrush in white paint, then splatter the jar with white paint by pushing back the bristles and letting them go. Repeat until you get the desired effect.
- Use white paint to outline the heart cutout.
- Remove the heart cutout from the front of the jar and clean up any glue spots with a Q-tip and rubbing alcohol.
- Apply a finishing spray to the jar and allow it to dry.
- Once dry, you can place a lit tea light or candle in the bottom of the jar, which will give a light hue of the color of your jar. This adds a wonderful atmosphere to a darkened room.
