Step 2Prep the Bottles / Shameless Krylon Plug
A note on obtaining the bottles--I picked mine up from a local Goodwill, for $0.50 for the smallest ones up to $2.00 for a nice Patron bottle. Some of the jars had potpourri and glitter and such in them and had to be cleaned out, others were actually small vases. In all I ended up with 13 of them for less than ten bucks.
After you've cleaned them out, allow them to dry completely. I wanted to frost the glass like I do when I'm making sun jars, but I didn't want to use the same opaque frosting spray I've been using. I wanted something a bit more transparent for these lights, more fogged than frosted. I ended up settling on Krylon matte finish, which worked out great. Take each jar and lightly spray a bit of the matte finish into each bottle, then allow to dry.
