UPCYCLED GLASS JAR DESIGN WITH PAPER FLORAL EMBELLISHMENTS

I have a few glass jars that I have washed and set aside, waiting for the perfect opportunity to use them in a craft. Today I am going to share a simple upcycled project with you. We're decorating a glass jar and adding paint, mod podge, and floral embellishments.

One glass jar- I am reusing a pickle jar

Floral embellishments- I am using the paper craft flowers

Mod podge

Acrylic paint- I am using Waverly no prep Matte finish

Scissors

Paintbrushes

Optional-Twine

Begin by taking your paintbrush and applying a thin layer of your paint to your jar. If you want to add a battery-operated candle to your jar, add a lighter paint application. This way you will still be able to see light through your jar.

Next, after applying your paint, take your flowers and begin to add them using your paintbrush and mod podge.

Add a thin layer of mod podge to the glass surface and add your flower embellishments. After, apply a coat of mod podge over your flower. I always use my blow dryer when applying my mod podge. Allow it to fully dry.

Repeat. Continue to add your flowers and mod podge to your glass jar. I also added leaves to my design.

This last step is optional. Take some twine and wrap it around the opening of your jar. Tie it off, and wrap it around until you reach the desired amount. Take scissors and cut off the remaining twine. Use a little hot glue and glue the end of your twine to the jar.

What do you think? That was pretty simple. I love that this is an upcycled craft. Here are a few ideas, you can add a battery-operated candle and place this on a patio table. Enjoy the soft lighting during the evening. You can also use this glass jar to display a summer or fall flower arrangement.  

Thank you so much for creating with me.
