Fun new DIY for your glass jars and vases
It's the most simplest way to update or just add color to your room or house. All you need is a glass jar of any kind. I used a salsa jar and candle jar and some vases I thrift. You will also need acrylic craft paint. I got my paint from Michael crafts store. I payed 69 cents. All you do is wash and dry the jars and then put a small amount in the jar a enough to caught the bottom. Then I turned the jar upside down and twirled it slowly until the paint covered the entire inside of the jar. Once the entire inside is covered in paint, turn the jars upside down on thick cardboard so all the excess paint can run out–there will be quite a bit. You will want to move your jars every 10-15 minutes so that the excess paint can escape. Once you feel that a majority of the excess paint is gone, turn the jars upright and continue to let them dry for a few hours. Acrylic paint is water based, so if you paint the inside of your jars you won’t be able to fill them with water without the paint washing away. But don't worry Micheal's craft store make beautiful fake flower and if you're like me you have no green thumb so fake flower are better.
What inspired you?
Take A look around you, What inspired you? For me it was this pillow I got a Target. It's black white and gray photo picture of a daisy field.
This inspired me to make this spike and flower headband. The soft feminine white flower with pearl in there center adds sweetness to it but the black leather band and the spikes add a rough edge to it. And together you are left with this....
