"Hi! I'm Tom Wright from Ginger Bread Glass and I'm here today to show you how to make a glass jar. The type of glass we're going to be using today to make this jar is we have the obvious clear. We're going to use blue caramel, which is an awesome color. A reflective, almost kind of goldish. I don't know. I'm not very good with colors. It just looks really appealing to me. It goes well against this green here. This is more of a solid green. It's not very reflective. It's just kind of almost like your average green, but it'll contrast well here with the blue caramel. We got that, the clear, and of course, we can't make anything without our tube. This is our tube right here. That's what we'll be making the jar out of. These all combined together, we'll wind up with our jar. That's the glass we're going to use."
