What You'll Need:

Clear Mason Jars

Paper Bags or Newspaper (to cover your surface)

Food Coloring

Water

Dishes (for mixing coloring)

A Fork or Small Wisk

Tablespoon

Gloss Modge Podge

A Large Bowl

A Baking Sheet

Wax Paper

Gloves (optional)

Step one: Cover the surface you are working on with a paper bag or pieces of newspaper. Then, fill each of your dishes with 1 tablespoon of water. You should have 1 dish per mason jar you are coloring. You can wear rubber gloves to protect your hands as food coloring stains everything.

Step two: Put 4-5 droplets of food coloring into each dish of water to make the colors of your choice and mix thoroughly.

Step three: Pour one of the water-coloring mixtures into your first mason jar.

Step four: Add a few tablespoons of modge podge into the mason jar until you arrive at a thicker - liquified state. Mix thoroughly.

* The coloring-glue mixture should now be the consistency of pancake batter. Make sure the mixture is the general color you want your jar to turn out to be. If not, add more food coloring and mix. *

Step six: Swirl the mixture around the mason jar for 1-2 minutes, or until the entire jar is covered with solid layer of coloring. Be sure to do this over a bowl, as the mixture will spill out of the jar.

Step seven: Set the mason jar aside, upside down, on a paper bag or piece of newspaper. Repeat until each mason jar is colored.

Step eight: Let jars set on paper bag for 30 minutes.

Step nine: After the jars have dried, cover a baking sheet with wax paper and transfer the mason jars to the wax lined baking sheet (placed upside down). Set oven to "warm" setting.

Step ten: Put in oven for 10 minutes.

Step eleven: Finally, flip jars so they are right-side up and put them back into the oven for 30 more minutes (or until all glue has disappeared).

* All the streaks should have faded from the glass. When you are left with a clear, colored surface (as seen below), you are safe to remove the mason jar from the oven *
