Sea Glass Jar DIY

I creating these jars using a homemade modpodge (2 parts glue to 1 part water) mixed with food coloring, water and a little dishsoap. Took me all of about 10 minutes and I LOVE the way they came out. Placed them in my kitchen window and it makes doing the dishes a lot more enjoyable! ;)

    Love the idea. Looking for fun ideas for my niece's wedding reception. I have some inexpensive vases we are planning on mixing in with some of the more elegant crystal. Might be fun to use food coloring in her colors to add pops of color.

    Wouldn't be able to get the outside wet because it is not waterproof.

    Sallie is right, Donna, they can't be washed. But the inside can be rinsed out. I just rinse out the inside after each use. :)

    Love that idea Brenda! I loved decorating for my wedding. You can do really pretty stuff for very inexpensive if you are willing to get creative and put some elbow grease into it! :)

    Would covering the outside with Outdoor Modpodge make them waterproof?

    Ashleigh B I love these, you have a reply on your blog from someone who said to use white glue on wood to give your painted surface a crackle effect. Have you tried this? And since the glue is...glue, what happens if your glued surface gets wet at some time?

    Ashleigh B, could these be sealed with a clear coat of acrylic spray like Krylon?

    Blue is such a pretty color. With the flowers tucked in each jar, they bring so much color and life to the window.

    WOW I love this. My son is getting married next year and they are using mason jars and sunflowers...could be painted in a cobalt blue to match their colors. Definitely going to give this a try.

    What a fabulous idea. Love these! Absolutely love the color you used. I keep leftovers in jars....so much nicer than plastic. And the food keeps better also.

    Love this idea. I tried it on some cobalt blue bottles and it turned out great. Color comes through but now they are frosted. Beautiful!
