DIY 1 

What you need: Mason jar, Epsom salt, white glue and spray paint in rose gold.

Use a paintbrush to coat the jar generously in white glue. Now, sprinkle Epsom salt over the mason jar, or you can roll it in the salt. Holding the jar up, spray paint over the salt and voila! You can use a different colour if you want. Don’t forget to paint the rim of the jar. 

Place a small Diya or candle inside and the jar to brighten it up. 

DIY 2 

What you need: Mason jar, kite paper, glue, and string of lights. 

Cut the paper into small rectangles or squares. Then cover the mason jar with glue and place the paper in random places. You can add another layer if you want and let it dry. Add a battery-operated string of lights and place it carefully in the jar. And you have yourself a pretty DIY mason jar lamp. 

DIY 3

What you need: Mason jar, teddy bear figurine, glycerine, water and glitter. 

Place the figurine in the middle of the jar using a glue. Pour water in the jar and add a few drops of glycerine. Glycerine will allow the glitter to fall and move slowly, which will make it look beautiful. After adding the glycerine, pour some glitter and close the lid tightly. Let it dry and shake the jar to get the desired effect. 

DIY 4 

What you need: Scotch tape, spray paint, lace, knotted thread and string of lights. 

Cover the upper half of the mason jar with scotch tape and paint the other half using rose gold spray paint. Remove the tape slowly from the top. Decorate the edge of the painted area with pretty lace and cover the lid with knotted thread. Add a battery-operated string of lights and place it carefully in the jar.
