I used equal amounts of acrylic paint and tacky glue with enough water to make the mixture loose. As you may acrylic craft paint and tacky glue is thick. I just rolled the jar around until the paint mixture covered the entire inside. And put the jars upside down on a old bakers rake to drain the extra out. Allowed to dry and whala reusable pumpkins I’ve been using for several years. For jack o lanterns I used painters tape cut into shapes for eyes and mouths attached to the inside of the jar then added the paint and learned the hard way to gently remove by picking at the tape with an exacto knife while the paint is still damp not wet but still tacky.

My apothecary window at Halloween. That was my first try at about 2 years ago. I may give it another try this year.
Have a question about this project?
Just to clarify, I think you meant to say the painted jars start out almost opaque and become translucent when baked, right? Your finished product is very pretty.
MODGGE PODGE NOW COMES IN DISHWASHER SAFE. I JUST GOT MINE FROM AMAZON. IT DOES TAKE 28 DAYS TO "CURE"ALREADY HAVE COATED A CERAMIC BOWL WITH IT.I CAN'T WAIT FOR IT TO CURE...
When put in oven for 1-1 1/2 hours. Do you really have to check on them every 2 minutes? Thanks
It says check 20/ 30 min
Can the jars be used for food afterwards?
I saw on another site that said to never use them for food or drinks after tinting. Only use for crafting. I hope that helps
