Glass Jar Makeover

Mark Montano
by Mark Montano
2 Materials
Organize your supplies with jars and your favorite coloring book pages!
I used copies of my favorite coloring book pages instead of the actual page. I also used my home copy machine and it worked just fine.
Watch how easy it is here. There are a few little tips included that eliminate bubbles and allow for the tapered edges of the jars. If the video doesn't play, copy and paste this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YgwvsYfGoM4
I like to edge my projects with a Krylon Paint marker and my favorite brand of decoupage medium is from Americana. It doesn't get sticky when there is moisture in the air like other brands.
Suggested materials:
  • Americana Decoupage in Matte   (Amazon.com)
  • Krylon Paint Marker in black   (Amazon.com)

    I would love to give these to my daughters and granddaughters for Christmas with colored pens in them so they could all sit together and color them. Would I have to buy special type of pens and what would we need to seal the colors?
