- 3 mason jars, any size but we like the 24-ounce wide-mouth ones
- acrylic paint in brown, red, white, black

Tools

Instructions
- Paint one jar red, one jar white, and one jar brown.
- Let dry completely and repeat with another coat. Let dry.
- On the white jar, add black paint to make three black "buttons." You could also hot glue on real buttons.
- For the red jar, use the black paint to form a belt for Santa's coat. Once dry, use gold paint for an open vertical rectangle for the belt buckle.
- Rudolph's mason jar is complete with a painted red circle in red acrylic or glitter paint.
- If you're sealing, use a foam brush and ModPodge to protect the paint from scratches. Two coats will keep the jars looking great.
