Directions 1. Use the Sharpies to draw a design directly onto the mason jar. Try creating an intricate pattern, colorful blocks, or even a picture of something that brings you joy. Avoid going over the same area multiple times or overlapping colors, as it may cause smudging. 2. Once dry, place the jar somewhere sunlight can shine through to reveal the beautiful stained-glass effect. MASON JAR HERB GARDEN Materials ■Mason jars (Blue or Clear) 1. Start by adding a layer of pebbles to the bottom of each jar. This helps keep roots healthy and prevents water from pooling. 2. Fill the jar almost to the top with organic potting soil, leaving about an inch of space for planting. 3. For seeds, sprinkle them on top and cover lightly with soil so they can germinate. For starter herbs, gently loosen the roots before planting, then pack soil firmly around them for support. 4. Write on the jar with a chalk marker, so you always know what’s growing. 5. Place your jars where they’ll get at least six hours of sunlight daily. Keep the soil moist but avoid overwatering. ■Organic potting soil ■Starter herbs or seeds ■Pebble rocks Directions
