Step 2: Tear off Newspaper paper into little squares or other shapes
Step 3: Brush a layer of white glue over a small area on the jar and stick newspaper, overlapping so there are no spaces in between.

Repeat with the remaining jars
Step 4: Brush a final layer of glue over the all over the newspaper. Allow to dry, then repeat with one more coat
Step 5: Add a tea light candle inside jars. Place jars on a table or mantel for décor
