glass jars, repurposed


Fabulous what a little food coloring and Mod Podge can do for a glass jar, I think.

jars, beforejars, after

I've developed a recent obsession for hoarding any kind of leftover glass container.

Seeing as how I am/will soon become a nomad, this does not bode well.

Sorry, Mom. They'll probably end up consuming any open closet space around the house.

  13. Did you paint the inside or the outside?

  14. Can you do this to a frosted glass globe? Would you apply to inside or outside?

  15. I'm guessing you would have to paint the outside due to the heat of the candle, right??

  16. Very pretty but I think food color will fade in the sun -- maybe a color safe coloring agent would be better in that case.
