So recently I became obsessed with Pinterest. Everyone was talking about it, I did not understand how someone could be addicted to looking at pictures until it happened to me. About a month ago I started spending hours on the computer staring at other people's creativity. Until a thought crossed my mind "Hey I could be making these cool projects too!" So I got right to work I decided on painting the inside of a mason jar to give it the effect like fireflies had been trapped inside. Part of the reason this craft was so appealing to me is because every fourth of July my family makes the long drive out to Missouri so we can see my Moms side of the family. Me and my two cousins who are both a year younger than me loved catching fireflies when we were little. Always wanting to keep them on our bedside table my Grandma would give us some of her Mason Jars that she would use for canning. We then trapped the poor bugs until they died in our jars, somehow I now find this kind of cruel. Anyway that is why I loved this craft idea, I already have plans to keep it on my nightstand.
It took about an hour, I dipped the end of a paintbrush into GLOW paint and made little dots all around the jar. Simple, fun, and pretty although the original jar I saw on Pinterest used more than one color glow paint so theirs shows up way better in pictures. My jar glows quite bright at night I actually moved it across the room because I could not sleep with it next to me.
