A jar doesn't have to be just a jar.....

What I used:

Mod Podge
red food color
paint sponge on a stick
ribbon
glue gun
pretty jewel
old jar

1. I cleaned and dried the jar.
2. I mixed in a small cup Mod Podge and three drops of red food color.
3. I pained it on the outside of the glass jar (2 coats) and left to dry overnight.

Day 2.

1. I glued on the pink ribbon.
2. I glued on the black ribbon.
3. I glued on the jewel.

Total time only about 1 hour excluding drying time. Clean up was a snap!
