Needless to say this step should be done outdoors. Find a flat area, preferably a table, and layout newspaper or cardboard covering any area that might get overspray. Layout one or more jars open end up and allow at least a foot between each of your jars. This will allow you to spray more than one jar at a time without waiting on each one to dry.

The jars and mirrors I purchased from Hobby Lobby. I purchased 2 sizes of hermetically sealed jars in the glassware craft section for $2.25 each. To maximize savings I went on a week when glassware was 50% off which seems like every other week.

If you do not have a Hobby Lobby try Ikea as they have some great jars as shown which I will be using next. Any jar with a diameter of 4″ or more should be fine. Mirrors were on the same aisle, I used 2″ round mirrors which came 10 to a pack for $1.39. Use square, round or whatever floats your boat just stay under 2 1/2″ diameter.

They are called Sun Jars and are a wonderful outside addition to your deck or garden area. Available from retailers at a cost of $30 up to $50 I wanted to make some for myself and some friends. Being the cheap economical person I am I wanted to create a Sun Jar as cheaply as possible. The results were great and the Sun Jars were enjoyed by everyone that received one.

Here’s my step-by-step guide to building a Sun Jar simple to build and much less expensive than any I have seen to date.

I have needs & wants like anyone else. Free shipping combined with a reduced price will usually entice me into buying an item. No one ever wants to pay full retail.

I put my own little shopping list into store form as it is easier than keeping up with what I like when I see it. It saves on the amount of bookmarks also. Visit my store and you can see I have a wide range of tastes. Of course it would be easier on both of us for you to just buy the items for me.

Maybe I will put in something for my dog Izzy…
