I love mason jar because you can use them for so many crafts and this Lucky Leprechaun is one of them. Is he not the cutest thing you have seen. I can see this sitting on a table, an office desk or even the teacher's desk. Can You use regular craft paint instead etchall? I love the wiggly eyes and the button nose and I may even do his nose out of felt. And the light I have got to have that and I have got to make one for my daughter-in-law too. Super easy tutorial for a great St. Patrick's Day craft.
