Tutorial Tuesday: Painted Jars

This is probably one of the best crafts 
I've done in awhile.
I got the idea from here:

First, you need to find a glass jar, remove the lable, and wash it. I used a few jam jars and the glue came off with nail polish remover.

Second, squirt a generous amount of paint into the jar and mix it around to cover the glass
Third, once the paint is covering the whole jar put it upside down in a paper cup to let the excess
paint drip out.
Fourth, after the jars have been sitting like this over night, let them sit right-side up for another day or so. They won't dry inside the cup with no air.
Finally, pick out some cute flowers and add a little twine and bam:
You've got a cute spring decoration for about $5.
Just remember to save those old jars.
