Epsom Salt Luminaries

 

Empty jars
Epsom salts
Food coloring
Paper plates
3 bowls
Mod Podge
Clear gloss sealer

Put about one cup of epsom salts into each bowl. Add ONE DROP of food coloring to one of the bowls and mix until evenly distributed. Add ONE DROP of green coloring to another bowl and mix.
 
 Use a paintbrush to coat the jar generously in Mod Podge. You want to use a generous amount, but not so much that it’s dripping off the jar. First paint around the bottom rim of the jar, then the body of the jar, then the top rim.
 
 
Stand the jar up onto a separate paper plate and add some Mod Podge to the top lip of the jar. Sprinkle some epsom salts onto the lip.
Repeat this process for each color. Allow each jar to dry for a few hours. Use a clean paintbrush to loosen and remove any salt that fell inside the jars and to gently knock off any excess on the outside of the jars.
 
 Spray with a clear gloss sealer. Let dry for about 20 minutes, repeat for a total of 3 coats.
