Pour some white glue onto your plate or lid and mix with a small amount of water to thin the glue. Mix well. With a paintbrush, brush some glue onto the jar. Lay down a square of white tissue paper onto the spot with glue. Cover the piece of tissue paper with more glue. Overlap squares and continue until the whole jar is covered. Allow to dry overnight.

With a pencil draw the shape of Christmas tree on one side of the jar. With the glue and the green tissue paper, carefully fill in the shape you drew. Allow to dry.
