Faux Stained Glass Jar Lanterns

Recycle your jars into something colorful

I turned a plain jar into a colorful glowing lantern (tho its still cool without the candle.) These little jars have the look of stained glass, but you don’t need to learn to weld. Puffy paint and alcohol markers are what’s used to give it the look. I used tablet apps to create the right pattern for my faux stained glass. This is an easy, fun project that you can make many of.
