A Weird Little Blog: DIY Decorated Jars

I am back with a DIY!!! It has been quite a while. This time I am making and showing ya'll how to make decorated jars. You can use them to store items in or you can place a candle in the jars and give them out as presents.

Supplies (and stuff):
- Jars
- Paint
- Sponges (SQUARE PANTS, SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANT. SPONGE-BOB, SQUAREPAAAAANTS. This needed to be done.)
- Clear spray paint (to seal in the paint)
- Newspaper

Alrighty then. Let's get to it.

Step 1:
Get some clean jars. Wash them and dry them (duhhh), and if you have one of those annoying, label, glue, paper thingy, you can get rid of those with eucalyptus oil and a cotton swab. Then just rinse it with water.

Step 2:
Get yo' paint and sponges and newspaper out. Cover your working space with newspaper. And decide on the colours for your jar. I used three or more colours. Use your newspaper as your palet. Then start off with the lightest shade. Let that dry for about a minute (to thicken the consistency) and then add the next colour in blotches, as I did, expressed in the pictures below:

 

Optional step:
Get a glittery colour and add that as the very last colour. To add some shinnnneee! Like seen here. I added gold to my jar.

Step 3:
Wait. About three or four hours should do the trick. Make sure the paint is ABSOLUTELY DRY before proceeding to the next step.

Step 4:
Take out your clear spray paint and seal that sucker in. When you spray paint, make sure to wear a mask or try and avoid breathing. But make sure to breathe later, otherwise you might pass out. And take this outside. You don't want your house smelling like this. And when you spray paint you will always feel badass. It's a fact.

Step 5:
Let is dry again. This time 24 hours or overnight will do. Though the result will be better in 24 hours.

And voila! You are done.
Good luckkk!

I got this idea from my sister. She claims she made this whole idea thing, but I dunno. Must have been done before.
And also I used this paint:

This is from Ikea. And it's called måla. It has neon colours in it. And is PERFECT for this project. I'm not sure how much it costs, my sister got it as a present.
