Place the jar inside a large cardboard box as this technique will spray a lot. Dip the brush in the glass paint. Hold the brush close to the glass jar and run a stick or similar through the bristles of the brush towards yourself. Practise this technique before spattering onto the jam jars. Leave the jars to dry for a minimum of four hours before fixing in the oven at 160°C for 45 minutes.
