Helpful Tips:
Do I have to use fine glitter for my heart mason jar?
We used extra fine glitter, but larger glitter, including chunky glitter, will also work. You can even try using a glow-in-the-dark glitter or some fun glitter shapes!
How else can I decorate my glitter mason jar craft besides ombre?
Using a single colour can be very pretty too. Or if you want to make a more complicated design, you can use masking tape or painter’s tape to block a design on your jar. Once you’ve covered the non-taped area with glue and glitter, let it dry. Then remove the tape and add glue and a different colour of glitter to the new areas, if you’d like.
Can I put a real tea light in my glitter mason jar?
Yes, it’s safe to add a real tea light candle into your jars, or you can use a battery operated tea light candle.
How else can I use these mason jars with glitter?
If you don’t want to use your glitter jar as a lantern or candle holder, there are lots of other ways to use it. Some ideas include:
Add a floral arrangement to use it as a vase Fill it with your favourite candy to use it as a candy jar Place your pens, pencils, and even scissors in it to use it as a pen holder on your desk Keep trinkets or other small objects in it to use as a cute storage jar
