Solar-Powered Glow-Jar

The idea for this Instructable came from something I found called Sun and Moon Jars on ThinkGeek.com.

Unfortunately these jars cost much more than I was willing to spend. Because of this, I decided to make my own version, and share it with all of you.

Step 1 What You'll Need

Tools and Materials
~Screwdriver
~Some form of glue
~Soldering Iron (You may not need this)
~Dremel or similar tool.
~Solar-powered garden light
~Glass Jar
~Frosted Glass Finish Spray (You may not need this if your jar is already frosted)
~Paint for use on metal (Optional)
~Safety Glasses

Before you get started. Make sure you know what you're doing, and observe all safety procedures. That means you should probably wear safety glasses and any other appropriate safety attire. Otherwise, you might end up with a piece of plastic or metal in your eye. Trust me, it's not fun.

You can use pearl white nail polish.I used for my sun jar 2 bottles of nail polish, droped them into the glass jar, put the cover, shake well and then remove the cover and then turn the jar upside down for a few hours, it looks great

would Wax paper work instead of glass frosting?

Yes. Wax paper should work pretty well. Even just a piece of white paper works. I tried it that way initially, but I prefer the look of the frosted glass.
