Materials and Tools:

mayonnaise jar
glass etching cream
craft brush
Masquepen with Supernib
seed beeds
3-5 fancy big beads
Krylon stained glass spray paint
votive candle
1-1/2 yard 28-gauge nontarnish silver wire

Steps:

1. Clean and dry empty mayonnaise jar.

2. Use the Supernib attachment on the Masquepen to make a design all over the jar. Little squiggles can be nice, as well as shapes like stars and hearts. You can also write sayings or words.

3. Apply a thick layer of etching cream. Wait five minutes and then wash off.

4. Take jar outside and spray the inside lightly with a few coats of the stained glass paint. When working with spray paint, be sure to work outdoors or in a well ventilated area.
