Quick Easy Fourth of July project!

Got canning jars? Check. Spray paint? Easy to come by. Hole punch? And bendy straws. You're all set for festive party glasses.

Here's the supplies you need.






Remove rings and lids from jars. Use hole punch to punch a hole in the top of each lid.







  Lay out some cardboard or news paper. Spray paint your lids blue on one area of cardboard. While those dry, spraypaint your rings red. By now, the blue paint is dry. Spray white spray paint on your fingers and flick them at the blue lids to make little white spray designs - as much or as little as you like. Allow to dry and put the lids and jars back together. I opted not to use the little star brads, but you can if you like. Before your party you can fill the glasses with premixed drinks, strawberry lemonade - whatever you like. Set them in a tray of ice, add your straws, and drinks are ready for guests to grab and enjoy.




This little project took about 20 minutes to do a set of 6, including drying time. I'd let them rest a couple days to allow the spray paint smell to dissapate.
