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.) |
