Step 1: Prep Your Work Area Put down newspaper or a craft mat on your work area to keep it neat. Make sure all your stuff is close by.
Step 2: Paint the Base Choose your favorite colors and paint the outside of jar made from mason or glass lantern. Wait until it is fully dry before putting on another layer for a bright look.
