Steps to Make Painted Candle Jars

Step 1: Clean Your Jars

Make sure your jars are clean and dry before you start painting. Any dirt or dust could prevent the paint from adhering properly.

Step 2: Choose Your Design

Decide on what design you want to paint. You can go for a simple pattern, or something more intricate if you’re feeling artistic.

Step 3: Paint Your Jars

Start painting your design onto the jar. Allow the first coat to dry before applying a second one if needed.

Step 4: Seal Your Design

Once the paint is completely dry, you can choose to seal your design with a clear sealant. This is an optional step, but it will help protect your design and give it a nice shine.

Step 5: Add Your Candle

Finally, add your candle to the jar. You can either use a pre-made candle or make your own.

And there you have it! Your very own DIY painted candle jars. They're perfect for adding a personal touch to your home, or to give as gifts to your loved ones.
