CIY Staff Tips:
- For extra sparkle, use Washable Glitter or Metallic Paint.
- You can also fill the mason jar with other items, including your favorite sweet treats or Valentine's Day messages!
- If your parchment paper starts to curl at the edges, tape the seam together where the edges meet.
Steps:
1
To create a resist, start by drawing a heart on construction paper with a No. 2 pencil, then cut it out with scissors.
2
Tape the paper heart to the outside of a mason jar.
3
Using a sponge or sponge-tip brush, coat the outside of the mason jar in paint that’s on a disposable plate. Let dry 1–2 hours.
4
When dry, peel away the heart to reveal the paint resist.
5
To create a frosted effect, roll a piece of parchment paper and place it inside the mason jar. Use your fingers to fit it to the inside of your jar.
6
Fill mason jar with battery-operated string lights.

Add twine or ribbon around the rim of your jar and display!
