00:00 Intro
00:52 Jar 1 Easy Paint
01:36 Jar 2 Farmhouse look
03:07 Jar 3 Glass Tint with Mod podge

For the Stained glass look - After coating the inside of the jar with the mix of mod podge and food coloring, place jar upside down on a lined cookie sheet for 10 minutes in a preheated oven at 200 degrees. After 10 minutes flip over for another 5 - 8 minutes in the oven. Let cool before using for decor. You can use Mod Podge Sealant spray if you want to use jar as a vase.

For Farmhouse look, after paint dries, rub sandpaper or Brillo pad on surface to give a weathered look.

All surfaces can be coated with sealant to ensure color stays.

A Mason jar, named after John Landis Mason who first invented and patented it in 1858, is a molded glass jar used in home canning to preserve food. The jar's mouth has a screw thread on its outer perimeter to accept a metal ring (or "band"). The band, when screwed down, presses a separate stamped aluminium disc-shaped lid against the jar's rim. An integral rubber ring on the underside of the lid creates a hermetic seal. The bands and lids usually come with new jars, but they are also sold separately. While the bands are reusable, the lids are intended for single use when canning. Largely supplanted by other products and methods for commercial canning, such as tin cans and plastic containers, glass jars and metal lids are still commonly used in home canning. Mason jars are also called Ball jars, in reference to the Ball Corporation, an early and prolific manufacturer of glass canning jars; fruit jars for a common content; and glass canning jars a generic term reflecting their material and purpose. Lightning fruit jars, another type of Mason jar, were not as common as the screw-thread version, but they were popular for home canning in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. - Wikipedia
