So, let’s start this simple, easy but interesting DIY project:
- Take 4 to 5 empty glass jars and wash them out. Make it sure that there is nothing left inside or outside of the glass jars.
- Put the glass jars upside down and let them dry for some time.
- When you see that jars are dry, wrap some packing string or yarn around them.
- Wrap the jars in criss-cross style and keep it wrapping until you like what you see.
- Make it sure that you are not wrapping the whole jar, you need to make only a pattern.
- When done, tie a not from the leftovers of the string from both the sides and cut out the knot.
- Now, use the spray paint and spray the glass jars completely.
- It is better to keep a sheet or any other paper while spraying the jars so that the surface and other things around don’t get affected by the paint.
- Let the jars dry for some time. If it is cold, give some extra time for drying.
- Once the paint gets dry, hold your glass jars and open the string or yarn from the jars.
You will see the amazing patterns on the white jars. Now to take full advantage, either use some candle inside the jars or you can use some other small light in the jars.
Keep these jars in your room and switch off all other lights except the lights in the jars. Or you can keep these lights on the stairs as well for a different style. If you like this project, check our DIY outdoor lighting ideas.
