These jars are like secret gardens captured in glass.

With each flower, butterfly, and leaf you paint, the jar transforms into a tiny world of color and joy, perfect for holding candles or simply catching sunlight by the window.

Materials Needed

• 3-4 clean yogurt jars (5 oz size)
• Acrylic paints (variety of colors for flowers, grass, and butterflies)
• Fine-tip paintbrushes (1-2 brushes)
• Green paint for grass base
• Gold or silver paint pen (optional)
• Small tealight or LED candles (1 per jar)
• Clear acrylic sealer spray

Step-by-step Guide

Step 1: Wash and dry the jars thoroughly, removing any labels.

Step 2: Paint a layer of green grass along the bottom edge of each jar. Let it dry.

Step 3: Add colorful flowers above the grass using small brush strokes. You can play with different shapes such as roses, tulips, daisies, or wildflowers.

Step 4: Paint tiny details like butterflies, ladybugs, or clouds to make the scene feel alive.

Step 5: For a polished finish, outline the rim with metallic paint.

Step 6: Once dry, spray lightly with clear acrylic sealer to protect your design.

Step 7: Place a candle inside and watch your painted garden glow warmly in the dark.

Tips: If painting feels intimidating, you can use floral stickers or stencils for an easy shortcut.
