What a cute way to use mason jars, or even empty pasta sauce or pickle jars. I love any projects that use glow in the dark paint, glow sticks, or glitter, of course. I think I will make some mini versions with baby food jars, while I am at it.

Cool project for my nieces and nephews. They actually first saw this project on youtube. But I think the tutorial from here is much easier and simpler.

This are so cute. What a great rainy day craft for kids. It's so important to get kids outdoors and exploring the magic on their gardens. We have two fairy doors attached to trees in our garden and I'm definitely going to make small versions of these glowing fairy jars to add to the magical atmosphere.
