Re-Use & Re-Purpose Old Glass Jars Project

I am trying to use some of the old glass jars

that I have held onto.

I found an idea somewhere

(props to whoever invented this...

I can't remember where I found it)...

Anyhoo...

here is a few steps to

Re-Using and Re-Purposing...First, get some acrylic paints of your colors of choice.

I reccommend using

shades of green and blue.

I used burgandy in some of these pics

and it turned out looking like the marinera sauce that came in it!

** Trial and Error:)

Next, squirt most of the tube of paint inside the jars.
Roll the jars around
WITH the lids on, of course.
Allow paint to cover all areas of the jars.
You will probably have to roll again later on
because the paint kind of slides downward.
Then, keep upside down overnight.
Make sure paint is all over the inside.
Finally take off lid to air out and dry the paint.

I needed some color to spice up the top of my entertainment center.
FYI...I have some friends, Kristi and her sister, Kim,
who put this little ensemble together on the suitcase...
LOVE IT, girls!!!
Now, go get those old jars
and spice up a shelf, table top, or whevever...
Re-USE and Re-Purpose...
it's easy, cheap and looks cute!
