Ingredients:-clear glass mason jar
-Vitrea 160 : Turquoise (which is a transparent color for glass and costs less than $5)
- Vitrea 160: Thinner
- fan brush
-small tupperware container
- oven
1. Clean the glass
2. Mix 1 pinky nail size scoop of Turquoise color with 1 dip of the fanbrush into the Thinner solution (do this mixing in a small tupperware container.)
3. turn jar upside down and using thin brush strokes, apply the paint with the fanbrush (it will look cloudy and streaky...but that's OK!)
4. let it set for 24 hours
5. after it sets, bake at 375 degrees for 40 min and let it cool all the way (your brush strokes will disappear during this process)
- the mixture you created at the beginning of the process makes enough to create 5 jars at a time, which makes this diy cheap cheap cheap!!

ReplyDeleteOOO LA LA! LOVE THIS IDEA.

ReplyDeleteWow! I found many clear mason jars at antique stores and several turquoise ones. I was planning on having a mix, but with this option they could all be the same color if I wanted them to. Very nice!
ReplyDeleteThis works!!!!...I did 23 of these jars and they came out really well......saved alot of money !!! Thanks
ReplyDeleteI used this method on small bud vases and it worked great! The mixture recipe is off though, it took much more than just a dab to do one small vase - more like 1 part colored paint, 2 parts thinner.
ReplyDeleteTried this at home too! Unfortunately, the paint streaks didn't disappear after being removed from the oven...maybe I'm doing something wrong? They're still very pretty, but I just hope no one looks too closely at them!
