I got the frosting/etching "paint" at a hobby shop. It's a translucent white liquid. You'll see it. Then you just squirt it in and roll the jar around until it has covered the entire inside. Then I set it so that the excess would run out the top. After that, you just have to let it dry, which is tough since there is no air movement inside there. I think I set a blow dryer aimed across the top. The movement of the air over the top made for a suction to move air inside. Try some things and see what gets the air moving. Once it's dry, put a small light in it. I also put tape around the neck so that the actual bulb was not visible, just the light coming from it. The bulb and socket are up in the neck of the bottle. The translucent film inside makes the light radiate out nicely.
