DIY Glowing Firefly Jar

For each glow jar, you will need:

• Some kind of glass jar (Mason jars are ideal, or glass candleholders, whatever you please)

• Glow-in-the-dark acrylic paint (any color, I used yellow and green)

• A couple small paint brushes

That's it- that's all you need. All of your supplies can be found at a craft store such as Joann Fabric's or Michaels. I bought the acrylic paint for about $2 at the Mount Pleasant Joann Fabric's. This is a super cheap project but it looks cool when it's done. 

All you have to do for this project is one thing: Paint small polka dots on the inside of your jar/glass with the glow-in-the-dark acrylic paint. Be patient. You don't want to put too much paint because it will drip. The more dots you paint, the brighter your jar is going to glow. 

When you have finished painting your dots, your jar is going to look something like this in the light. Leave it open so that the paint can dry.

Keep your jar wherever you want it to glow! Mine stays in my bedroom and glows after just a half hour of light. The longer your jar is in light, the brighter it will glow!
