Introduction
We turned plain glass jars into wonderful hostess gifts. Frosted paint was used to create a design on the jars, then the jars were embellished with ribbons and fresh greens.
Step 1

Use painter's tape to create patterns, like stripes, squares or letters, on the glass jars.

Step 2

Paint the Jars
In a well-ventilated area, spray jars with the frosted spray paint and let dry. Apply a second coat of paint. Remove painter's tape once the paint has dried.
Step 3

Wrap It in Ribbon
Cut ribbon to fit around jars with enough to make a bow. Glue ribbon around the top of the jar. Layer on a second ribbon and make a bow.
Step 4

Add Greenery
Cut the flowers, red berries and pine boughs, and add them to the jars.
