How long do I need to let the jars dry?

Typically, the jars should dry for at least 24 hours to ensure that the paint has set properly.

Can I use regular candles instead of LED?

While regular candles can work, they should not be placed inside glass containers due to the risk of breakage. LED candles are much safer for this project.

What if I don’t have a cauldron?

You can use any decorative bowl or container to display your potion jars. Creativity knows no bounds!
