How to Make Tinted Mason Jars in a Few Simple Steps
Cheryl....I like to use Elmers glue and a dot, or whatever you like, of food color. I stir with a toothpick because it doesn't take a lot then I use a sponge brush and paint the outside. They streak until they are dry but are beautiful jars!
Combine 2 tablespoons water, 4 tablespoons Mod Podge and add food coloring (3-5 drops or whatever you want for your desired shade). Mix well and pour into the jar. Swirl around and set upside down to dry.
You could paint the inside of them
You can also use Rustoleum Mirror Spray paint to make them look like mercury glass...

Hi, Cheryl,
I do not have an answer for you, just a very big reminder for you to use safety first when you use any technique offered or your own. Please be aware of whether you are using the jars for storing food or using as decorations. I did not see any food grade paint techniques being offered, so they should be used as decorations. Be safe . 🌹💖😘
