Painted Glass Pumpkin Candy Jar

I found this Pumpkin Candy Jar at the Thrift Store this morning.

 

It was marked  $1.00 and I just could NOT pass it up.

 

 

 

These jars will show up from time to time. They are made by Anchor Hocking and they

 

are still available on their website. Target has these on line.

 

I found the jars on this site for a good price in case you are interested.

I love this jar as is but I really love the silver pumpkins from the

 

POTTERY BARN

 

 Pottery Barn Catalog October 2018

 

 

 

That's the look I'm going for-
 

 

I am going to show you how to make two different versions.
 

 

 One will be painted on the inside only, beautiful shine, looks like Mercury glass, 

 

perfect for Fairy Lights or faux candles

 

but NOT food safe.

 

The other will be painted on the outside only, and can be used for candy

 

 

 

 

We will need a Jar-

 

Plastic bag, painters or masking tape

 

 

Mirror or silver spray paint


 This paint is awesome and it's made for glass.

 

 To paint the outside, cover inside with bag and tape the open edge.

 

 

After paint is dry, flip jar over to paint the bottom.

 

Let dry thoroughly 

 

To paint the inside only, wrap bag around outside of jar and tape the edge.

 

Paint just the underside of the lid.

 

Let dry thoroughly

 The small glass pumpkins are from the Dollar Tree

This pumpkin was painted on the outside

and has battery powered votive candles inside.

 



 

Here are the Fairy Lights

 

 

These lights came from Target's After- Christmas sale at 90%off .... and ......

 

 

The CANDY came from Dollar tree
