Decorative Painted Glass Bottle
Approximate Time: 10-20 minutes
Move down the jar and in the empty space paint red dots in a spiral down the jar. Let paint dry completely.
Cover the outside of the jar in a light, even layer of the varnish and let dry completely. You can add a second layer for extra protection if desired.
Use a funnel or twisted paper to pour the bath salts into the jar. Close jar. Add any bows or other embellishments you need and you're done.
You cannot put this in a dishwasher or soapy sink and such, it's still delicate. The design will eventually wear off the glass. You can clean in gently with a damp cloth, but if you scrub it, the paint will come off. If you use the item in your everyday life it will wear away faster than if it's just a decoration on the shelf.
You can use the technique on almost any decorative glass, just don't put it in the dishwasher, oven, and so on.

I have used colored nail polish, too and they work great and now are in so many colors - but have been warned that they are toxic with too much exposure!
