Final Touch on the Sun Jar

I didn't realize that Mother's Day was the following Sunday. It just dawned on me yesterday that I need to pick up a card and also mail out the sun jar with some finishing touches. I picked up some glass frosting spray at Michael's after dinner tonight. I checked Joann's a week or two ago and nothing. I was hoping to get some orange cellophane as well, but no dice. I think the frosting does a remarkable job, and it's gives it that refinement that crumpled up tissue paper lacks ;P

I definitely didn't want to get the top lid portion frosted since that would defeat the purpose of a solar panel underneath it. To avoid frosting the lid or metal I used saran wrap and just sprayed around it. The spray is very elementary to use and sprays on as clear liquid. The liquid is some type of adhesive that dries hazy, so be careful when picking it up. As it dries it will become translucent. I'll take another pic or so tomorrow after it dries. Still gotta decide whether or not I want an orange glow, or if I'll leave it at white. I'll remove the tissue paper inside after it finishes drying, as I don't need sticky white oozinator on my hand.


Video of the Sun Jar adjusting the brightness of the LED based on the light available. Not exactly sure how this works since I was under the impression that it was more of an on or off type of circuit. Either way, kool effects.
