Project of the Week!

Well we all know it's coming, 2 and a bit month's away - Christmas & New Years. So the next 10 projects will be Holiday themed projects to get you motivated and help you make some beautiful gifts this year! All of the projects will of course be displayed in store, so please stop by to take a peak - oh and don't be afraid to ask questions if you need assistance!

So here, is our first one:



My mom always has jam jars sitting around, and here is simple way to decorate them and make them beautiful!

First take the round screw part of the lid and paint it with white acrylic paint. I used two coats.

Then a tricky part. Mix glossy accents and glitter. Why? Well if you were just to glue the glitter on the screw top, then it would fall off and the glossy accents acts as a sealant. Set aside to dry.



Using Glossy Accents again, glue the thin lid to paper. Cut out and sand edges.

Fill jar with yummy candies.

Decorate jar as desired. I used a new prima flower, doodlebug bling, GCD studios paper, Tulle, and a Prima bling on the lid!
