Instructions

  • Wash and dry all the jars and metal lids, and then peel all labels. You can use any type or size jar as long as it's clear with a screw on lid.

  • Use black acrylic paint to paint a basecoat on the metal lids. Let dry and add a second coat, if needed.

  • Download and print the CORNISH PIXIE PATTERN SHEET on regular printer paper. Select the Cornish Pixie size that fits your jars best, then carefully cut them out.

  • Use decoupage medium and a paintbrush to coat the inside front of each jar. Place the Cornish Pixie inside, with the black ink side facing out. Use your paintbrush to press it gently into the decoupage medium. Add another coat of decoupage medium to cover the back of the Cornish Pixie.

  • Tear tissue paper into pieces, then coat the outside of the jars with decoupage medium. Lay the pieces of tissue paper over the medium, then add a second coat of decoupage medium on the top of the tissue paper.

  • Screw the lids back onto the jars. Using your paintbrush and a dabbing motion, paint some of the holographic glitter paint around the edges of the Cornish Pixies.

  • Download and print the CORNISH PIXIE TAGS on brown cardstock. Choose the tags that are the appropriate size for each jar, then cut out with scissors and punch a hole in the top of each one.

  • Take the tea lights out of their packaging, then pull the tab out from the battery cavity to light them up. These tea lights are color changing, which the little ones always love!
