Tinted Mason Jars

I'm a HUGE Pinterest lover. So, when I find something I like, I usually give it a try. I found the mason jars and decided to give it a try because I didn't want to pay a lot for the colored jars.




Start with clean mason jars, a large bottle of mod podge, a plastic cup, and food coloring. 



In a plastic cup, mix the food coloring and about 2 TBSP of water


Put 1 TBSP of mod podge in the mason jar


Mix the food coloring and mod podge together in the mason jar


Swish it around so the entire jar is lightly coated with the food coloring mix





Set the jars upside down for about 1 hour to allow excess food coloring mixture to drip out. 


Place jars upside down in oven set at 225 degrees. Allow them to bake for 10 minutes, then flip them right side up for an additional 25-30 minutes. If they turn out streaky like mine on the right, place them back in the oven for an additional 10 minutes. It will help. 

I repeated this process twice because I liked the darker, brighter colors for my jars, but it you like them light, just use minimal mod podge.
