NOTES:

- Wash the jars in warm, soapy water; rinse and dry well before painting. Or clean the outside surface of the jars with rubbing alcohol and let dry.
- Evenly position and press 1" painter’s tape around the center of each jar.
- Use a sea sponge to dab White Frost paint on jars. Carefully remove the tape.
- Freehand the letters or place a letter pattern inside each jar and secure with painter's tape. Use Red Frost Writer for “J”, White Frost Writer for “O”, and Green Frost Writer for “Y”.
- For added durability, allow to dry/cure for four days and then bake in oven at 275 degrees for 30 minutes.
- Optional: Use a jar lid as a template to cut out scrapbook paper circles. Place paper circles over the lids and screw down the ring.
