I'm not very familiar with Posca pens, and I didn't know you could use them on glass! They dry very quickly (less than 10 mins) and once dry are pretty hard to remove; it doesn't smudge, and while you
can scratch it off it isn't easy. However, while it's still wet, it's easy to wipe off if you make a mistake :)
You need:
- Posca Pens:

- Clean glass jar:
(I took these out the recycling) - That's it!!!
Simply draw on the glass with the pens. Leave it 10 mins or so, and it will be dry!
Tips:
- You can draw over a layer of ink with another layer, but beware! If it is wet it might smudge, and if it's dry you might scratch off the bottom layer. Still looks cool, just be gentle with it
- POASCA PENS ARE NOT FOOD SAFE. So don't do this on a surface you're going to eat off (e.g. a plate).

hereI use the lemon jar to store pens and pencils, and I made a new one today to use as a tiny vase:

I think this is a really fun thing to do because you can customise your storage jars. You could use them to store
- Dice
- Embroidery thread or a sewing kit
- Pens, pencils, paintbrushes, all kind of crafty tools!
- Candles
