Let's Do This!
Step 1:
- Roll out the clay so that it is slightly wider than the height of the jar. Tip: Roll on parchment paper for a non-stick surface.
- Sprinkle gold and silver glitter on the clay.

Step 2:
- Line up the long cut edge of the clay with the bottom edge of the jar.
- Carefully wrap the clay around the jar. Tip: Press the clay gently against the jar to hold it in place.
- Trim off any excess clay and save it for a later step. Press the seam together using your finger.
- Trim off the excess clay around the neck of the jar using a craft knife. Save the excess clay for a later step. Tip: Use the threading on the neck of the jar as a cutting guide.
Step 3:
- Gather all the scraps of clay and roll them out.
- Sprinkle silver glitter on the clay.
- Lightly roll over the glitter to press it into the clay.
- Use the lid of the glitter container to cut circles in the clay.
