Today let's look at something glittery. I first saw this tutorial at A Beautiful Mess and fell crazy in love. I thought this would be a perfect way to make my Animal Jars even more fun.
First I bought a couple of jars to try this out on. I went for smooth jars but I also tried it on a smaller jar that wasn't smooth. I bought Mod Podge for the first time in a million years. I can't believe I've gone this long without using it.
I painted a pattern inside the jar and used a paper towel to clean around the edges.
In this one I attempted a chevron design but it looked more like a squiggle.
And then pour the glitter...
And wait....
When that dries go with the next color.
After waiting a very long time most of it had dried but the squiggle jar was still pretty white.
The next day I had better results but the squiggle jar is still being kind of weird. I'm thinking maybe a hairdryer will get that last little bit?
Now I just need to coat the inside with a final layer of Mod Podge to keep the glitter in one place.
This was super fun. I can wait to add something cute to the lid. I'm trying to come up with ideas for the lids that aren't just animals. Any suggestions?

shellac some of those (not very tasty) valentine hearts that say "i wuv ooo" or " U R A Hottie" and stick em' on the lid.
