Choose and print out the silhouette that you want to use, then cut it out nicely with an X-Acto knife making sure not to leave any white part on the edges, and then set it aside. Using the sponge, apply the white paint all over the interior of the jar until completely coated, then set it aside, and allow it to dry for at least 30 minutes or until completely dry and set. Get a bunch of moss, shape it nicely, then dab an ample amount of hot glue on it, and place it inside the jar adhering it to the bottom nicely. Grab the silhouette piece, then apply hot glue all over the front, and then stick it in the side of the jar’s interior. Place an LED tealight inside, then close the jar with its lid, and wrap a jute twine around the neck of the jar making a cute little bow. Cut a small branch of leaves, then hot glue it to the side of the jute twine, and decorate however you want.
