You will need:

- Sandpaper
- Scissors
- Metallic paint
- Doubled-sided tape
- Glue
- Matches

Step 1: Take the lid out of the screw-top section of your Kilner jar. Lay onto a piece of sandpaper and trace around the outside of the Kilner lid. Cut out and stick on with double-sided tape.
Step 2: Glue back onto the lid
Step 3: Paint the bottom section of the glass using shimmery gold paint.
Step 4: Paint several layers, leaving to dry between each one. Don’t forget the bottom!
