Hey campers. I’m Sarah at the arts and crafts studio at Happy Camper Live. Today I’m going to teach you how to make a Mason jar light. The supplies you will need are: • Scissors • Mason jar • Mod podge (or glue) • Popsicle stick (for mod podge) • Tissue paper (various colors) • Glass gems or rocks • Glow sticks or fake candle First, take off the cap of your Mason jar and set it aside. Next, dip your popsicle stick in the Mod podge and wipe a small amount onto a small piece of tissue paper. Stick the tissue paper anywhere on the outside of the jar. Continue doing this with tissue paper in any pattern you want, but be sure to leave some space in between the tissue paper so that light can show through the jar. Also be careful not to put too much glue on each piece of tissue paper or it will ooze out and show. If you do accidentally put too much on, you can cover it up with another piece of tissue paper. You can also decorate the bottom of the jar. Next, put the glass gems or rocks inside the jar. You want to fill it about halfway. Now, let it dry. Last, crack the glow sticks and place them inside your jar. Now you have a really cool Mason jar you can use as a nightlight!
