After I placed the mason jar lid ring in place I removed the excess glue and let it dry for a few hours. The mason jar could then be screwed into the lid, yet remains removable in case the bulbs need to be changed out.

I then taped off the sections I didn't want to get paint on.

I attached the crystals using 12lb, clear fishing line.
