Pretty Jars!

Source: Mix Elmer’s glue with food coloring and paint it on to any glass to make it look like sea glass when dry! Add a sealer if desired to prevent stickiness and loss of paint if exposed to moisture! So pretty! @ DIY Home Crafts via https://www.facebook.com/grandmothersattic

Can't can in them, but would work for dry storage.

They are really pretty. I would use jars that are no longer suitable for canning if I were to do that. I think I would feel guilty using perfectly good canning jars.

I may try that with some mayo jars, people are always giving me those, thinking they are canning jars because they're the same size!

I have been saving mayo/other glass jars for crafts so I won't use my canning jars. I like this! This is very pretty.

Those sure would be pretty for cut flowers.

I really like those! I think mayo jars may look better because of having no embossing on them.

Any suggestions on what colors to mix to get a burgundy? Been looking for a burgundy jar to use as a pen/pencil holder.

I would experiment with making brown first, then adding a bit of brown to red. Or possibly add a little purple to red, depending on the shade you are wanting.

Would also be a way to dress up a clear glass, cheap flower vase, for when you want to take someone some home cut flowers.

Or lamps.

Do you put the paint on the inside or outside? I would think outside but I have been known to be wrong before lol!

Or these, it says they are painted with chalk paint, which I have never seen, but will be looking for!

I bet terra cotta pots would be pretty painted like this too, just not translucent.

That is really cool!
