I see a trip to Dollar Tree in my future. ;)

BEFORE

A failed attempt at mercury glass inspired this. The acrylic craft paint debacle lead to spray paint--- would adhere better.

AFTER

METHOD Clean glass jars and little glass trees with alcohol and then wrap outsides and lids tightly
w/ saran and tape; spray paint insides w/ several thin coats of white. To reach corners, spray thin areas a bit......
a messy job Remove plastic--et voila--milk glass.

Easy salty/sweet holiday confection packs nicely in Martha's gift bags.

raisins, or mixed dried fruit bits are also good.
