Instructions

  1. Start with a clean Mason jar. Place the double sided tape onto the jar to spell out "MOM"

  4. Apply star-shaped sequins and stick them around the jar.
  5. When the pink paint is completely dry, carefully peel off the top layer of the double sided tape to reveal the "MOM" design, which will be sticky ready for you to add glitter 
  6. Apply a layer of glitter to cover the letters, use a paintbrush for precision. 
  7. Paint the rim of the jar with glue and tie a gold ribbon around the neck of the jar for a decorative touch.
  8. Fill the jar with artificial daisies or any other flowers you prefer.
