DIY: Mason Jars
These adorable jars are the perfect storage for... anything! The glass is tinted to resemble stained glass and the somewhat matching lids with the animal sculpture on top makes them contemporary and mod pieces of art. Although the jars can be used for anything, one suggestion is to store sanitary items such as q-tips, cotton balls or cotton pads. Imagine how colorful your bathroom counter could be!
Tinted Menagerie
-Mason Jar
-Mod Podge
-Food Coloring
-Acrylic Paint/Spray Paint
-Paintbrush
-Plastic Animal Figurines
-Superglue/Hot glue gun
Supplies:
1. Pour a good amount of mod podge into jar and add food coloring. Mix until desired color is achieved.
2. Tilt jar with closed lid in various directions until colored mod podge covers the entire interior of the jar (If the consistency is too thick, add a bit of water to make mod podge more smooth.)
3. Put jar upside down on a surface covered by newspaper & let it dry overnight
4. While you wait for the jar to dry, you can superglue/hot glue the animal figurine onto the lid.
5. Whip up a desired color of acrylic paint or spray paint & Paint a generous coat onto animal figurine and lid.
6. When the jar is dried & tinted the next morning, screw lid back on and voila!
Steps:
As much as we love terrariums, they can be very pricey, sometimes costing up to hundreds of dollars. What makes terrariums so magical is their ability to somehow create a small and condensed world into a small glass container. Looking into terrariums is on par with observing nature in miniscule form. Although these terrarsium are not the easiest to make, in the end it’ll all be worth it. they are relatively easy to make if you are crafty enough to step up to the challenge. Oh, have I mentioned they make a great mother’s day present?
Terrarium
- Mason Jar
- Moss
- Soil
- Spoon
- Very small figurines
- Succulent plants
Supplies:
1. If your moss is store-bought, spoon it out of the container or pot so it is easier to plant for the next step.
2. Pack some soil into the jar and layer the moss on top.
3. Arrange different types of moss in desired manner.
4. Plant in succulent plants & set up small figurines.
Steps:
Glow Jar
Glow jars are frequently seen on Tumblr. Now, the ones seen on Tumblr are usually made from glow sticks, giving them their vibrant array of colors. However, the downside to making temporary glow jars with glow sticks from the dollar store is their life cycle. Those glow jars last for approximately an hour max. This glow jar, however, will last forever because the glow-in-the-dark paint soaks up the abundant supply of UV light here in good ol’ California and emits an endless glow at night.
-Mason jar
-Glow-in-the-dark paint
-Paintbrush
1. Splatter globs of the glow-in-the-dark paint on the inside of the jar and let it drip down, creating cascades of different colored paint.
2. Place jar in a place that gets a lot of sunshine, and let it soak up all the UV light for as long as possible.
3. Turn off the lights and voila!
