Gilded Holiday Lanterns

         Gilded mason jars make

               an enchanting centerpiece 

    or bring a merry glow

              to any corner of the house


HOW TO DO IT


Our Holiday Gilding Kit is the perfect kit for this project

1. With card stock quality paper, use decorative paper punches to make snowflakes.
 
2. Wrap tape around the jars to create a design guide.
 
3. Apply Sticky Size with foam brush and let sit for 3 minutes.
 
4. Place snowflakes to the mason jar - they should stick to the Sticky Size. 
 
5. Apply one more layer of Sticky Size over the snowflakes and let it come to tack - about 15-20 minutes.
 
6. Carefully apply the leaf and firmly press it down with your fingers - let sit for 5 more minutes.
 
7. Brush off excess leaf.
 
8. Optional: Apply Toner to leaf and wipe back with a soft cloth for a warm, antique finish.
                   (We skipped the Toner on these jars.)
