Step by step instructions
Spread out some newspaper before you begin.
In a well-ventilated area, spray paint the glass jar orange and the rim of the glass jar lid blue and let dry for several hours or overnight.
If you have kids doing this project, have them paint the jars and lids with craft paint. You can paint the inside or outside of the jar. You may need to apply several coats of paint, depending on the type of paint.
