Neon jam jars / mason jars with puffy paint - party glass diy.



For Jamies graduation party, I spray painted some jam jars fluorescent to use as drinking glasses and personalised so they could reuse the same jar over the evening.


The most time consuming part of this activate, is part is getting all the glue and labelling off the jars.

To get a nice crisp line, seal masking tape around the jam jar, trying to get no creases or bubbles.


To stop any paint going inside the jars, I covered the hole in foil.


Then let loose with the spray can.  I used yellow, orange and pink.

The orange and pink gave by far the best coverage.  Two thin coats per jar and leave to dry.






I wrote each childs name in puffy paint.




Then we placed them at the bar.




At the end of the evening, most of the kids kept their jars, and took them home to use as pen pots.
