Lively Lace: Tinted Mason Jars

So I saw something like this on Pinterest but without many specifics. So I wanted to try it and figure out good instructions! I'm really excited with how it turned out!

So I started out with three masons jars, 2 large ones and 1 medium sized one

Materials:
1. Mason jars
2. Mod Podge
3. Goo Gone
4. Food Coloring
5. Little bowls
6. Newspaper
7. Measuring Cups (Not Pictured)
8. Cookie Sheet (Not Pictured)
9. Wax Paper

2 of the Mason Jars I used had been Prego Sauce jars, so I used Goo Gone to make sure all the sticky-ness was off.

Next, it was time to mix up the mod podge and food coloring. On the back of my food coloring box, there were "recipes" for additional shades. I used lime green (3 green, 1 yellow), turquoise (4 blue, 2 green) and salmon (3 red, 2 yellow).

I mixed each color in a separate little bowl. First I put the food coloring in. I doubled the "recipe" so for lime green I used 6 green and 2 yellow, and so on. If you want the tint to be lighter, I would suggest that you don't double it and just use 3 green and 1 yellow and so forth. Then I added the mod podge. I used 1/3 cup mod podge for the larger jars and 1/4 cup mod podge for the smaller jar. You can definitely use less, but using this much made it super easy to coat the inside, it just left a lot to drip out when it dried.

Once the mixture was ready, I poured it all in the jar and rotated the jar until the entire inside was coated.

This whole process made a huge mess, so make sure you have newspaper down! Once the inside it coated, turn it upside down on the newspaper and let them sit for 10 minutes.
