Encourage Mom to relax with this easy no-flame luminary that kids can craft with the help of an adult.
It only takes a few coats of pretty transparent glitter paint to help Mom create a relaxing atmosphere. This pretty glitter luminary uses a battery-operated flame, so it's safe for everyone. Mom can place the faux flame in the bedroom, near the bathtub, or anywhere else she likes to relax.

Instructions:
1. Wash and dry the glass jar, removing any sticky labels.

2. Using the paintbrush, apply a coat of transparent glitter paint to the entire jar. Allow the coat to dry.
