Upcycling a Clear Jar

I love upcycling things. If I think I can make something into a unique creation, I usually won't throw it out (unless my husband starts complaining. lol) I have been wanting to do this project with a glass jar for some time now, but kept forgetting to save a Ragu jar after using it to make spaghetti sauce. Finally I remembered, and even more surprisingly, had the motivation to do the project right away!

Materials: a glass jar, the bigger the opening the easier this project will be; mod podge; a sponge brush; various pictures/paper decorations; and (optionally) glitter glue.

From there, I simply added my decorations to the inside of the jar, securing them with some mod podge and putting a layer of mod podge after each addition. As you can see, I chose a Hello Kitty theme. I left the jar on the counter to dry overnight between each layer, because my layers were sometwhat thick. I recommend atleast a few hours worth of drying time between each layer, but I'm sure you could do all the layers at once and take a little longer to dry. I ended up putting four layers of Mod podge on, and it's all up to the crafter how many layers you want.

The finished product:

If you do this project, please share your photos, I would love to see your creations!

Happy Crafting. <3
