DIY Craft: Glowing Firefly Jars

Have you ever wanted to add a unique DIY light element to your space? Well, look no more because firefly jars are IT! They glow in the dark, giving off a subtle ambiance. Making them is easy and fun, and it’s also a great craft to do just to pass the time.

To start, you will need a mason jar of any size, glow-in-the-dark paint, a paintbrush of your choice, and a light source. A napkin or paper towel may be needed to wipe your brush on.

The mason jar, the paint, and the paintbrush can all be purchased from any store that sells art and craft supplies. I personally got everything from Hobby Lobby.

After you gather your materials, you are ready to set up your workspace and begin making your DIY glowing jar.

First, unscrew the lid and remove the top from your mason jar. Either take the cap off your paint or squeeze a glob onto a paint palette for easy access. If you choose to use a paper towel, then place your paper towel nearby for quick access.

(If you do not choose to use a paper towel, that is completely fine. The paper towel is just for cleaning up any little messes or wiping your brush on. )

Once everything is set up and ready, the painting process can begin!
