Instructions

STEP 1: Glue

Add glue to the side of the jar and stick one end of the tissue paper to the jar. Roll the jar on the tissue paper to cover the entire jar.

STEP 2: Wrap and tie

Leave slight excess paper on both ends of the jar. Fold the bottom ends together and glue to cover the bottom. Just fold the top excess into your jar. Use your string and wrap it around the opening until covered and the tissue paper is tightly fitted onto the jar.
