Once you have all of your supplies on hand, wash/dry your jars so they are free of any dust or debris and then paint them white. You can spray paint them if you like which is what I did. Let them dry overnight so the glue does not make the paint bubble. Apply blue painters tape around a third of the jar and paint the bottom of the jar with white school craft glue like Elmer's glue. Tap gold glitter on glue and the glitter will stick, and continue around the jar until finished. Let dry for fifteen minutes. Peel tape off. Peel off a new piece of painters blue tape a third of the way up the jar. Paint craft glue on inside the lines in the middle then immediately apply the orange glitter. Wait again another fifteen or so minutes and gently peel off blue painters tape.
For the top layer of glitter I did not tape this section off. I carefully painted around the jar line with the craft glue and then sprinkled on the white glitter up to the jar ring area.
Once the jar dried for a few hours I tapped off the excess glitter and you have one sparkling candy corn mason jar!
