food coloring + Mod Podge = Brilliant

Ready for a really simple, but brilliant idea?? Add a little food coloring to Mod Podge and paint some mason jars! I found this idea over on the blog Ruth Writes, check out her other great ideas and photography here.

All you plain jars, you are getting a makeover!
