Mason Jars Round 2

I already showed you how to make a glitter Mason Jars and spray painted Mason Jars, but there are so many options to choose from, I couldn't stop there! Two of my other favorites include glitter dipped jars and dyed jars. (If you missed my first tutorials check two posts ago for more Mason Jar fun)

Third: Glitter Dipped Mason Jar
The beginning of this tutorial is similar to the spray paint tutorial. You will need a Mason Jar, spray paint and glitter in matching colors, and clear acrylic sealer. Start with a clean and dry Mason Jar. Follow the instructions written on the can of paint to apply 2 coats of the spray paint. I made a black and gold version of this jar. For the gold on I used the Krylon Gold Metallic Color Master Indoor Spray Paint, and for the black I used Rust-oleum Flat Black Spray Paint. Once the second coat is dry, apply a layer of Mod Podge Matte Clear Acrylic Sealer to keep the paint from chipping. Use a small paint crush to apply Matte Podge to the bottom third of the jar and sprinkle the glitter of the matching on. I would suggest doing this part in sections so the glue won't dry before you have put on all the glitter. If you want to be sure to get a straight line of glitter, lay the jar down on its side and hold a piece of paper at the border of where you want the glitter to end. I did this with my black jar but not my gold, and as you see in the end picture below, the line looks much sharper if you use a piece of paper. Don't attempt to tape it because it will remove the paint when you remove the tape (I'm not joking about this. I'm the type of person who thought it would be okay it I used a different kind of tape and ended up ruing my jar because the tape peeled off the paint). Warning: This is a decorative jar. Do not get it wet. In case you do get it wet, use a paper towel to pat the majority of the jar dry WITHOUT wiping, and then let the rest of the water air dry.
This is how my glitter dipped Mason Jars turned out! 

Fourth: Colored Mason Jar
This jar is different from the other colored jars I've done in that it uses no spray paint, just Mod Podge and food coloring! The end result is that it's colored, but you can still see into the jar, so it's more of a tint. Choose what color of food coloring you want and mix five drops of it with 2 tablespoons of Matte Mod Podge in your Mason Jars. If you plan on doing more than one jar the same color. You can mix the food coloring and Mod Podge in a bowl and pour the appropriate amounts into each jar. Tilt the jar until every side is covered with the mixture, then turn it upside down on a paper plate to let the excess drip out for about an hour. Once all of the extra mixture is puddled on the paper plate, turn the jar right side up to air dry. At this point it will look like ordinary paint, but as it dries it will become see-through. Warning: This is a decorative jar. Do not get it wet.
Here's how my color tinted Mason Jar turned out!
Because I didn't let it sit upside down to drip out the excess food coloring for long enough, it had streaks in it when it dried, so I would suggest letting it dry for at least an hour.
