So I LOOOVED doing this project today, and if I do say so myself it turned out adorable! It was so easy and fun! These would make great gifts for any occasion. I originally found this how to on "Simply Kelly". So here is what you need....
- 1 Jar ( any jar is fine...baby food, salsa, mason, etc.)
- 2 pictures or art work
- Decorative items ( ribbon, stickers, etc.)
- Beads or Glitter ( I heard beads work better )
- Laminating Sheets found in school supplies at WalMart ( you can also use clear adhesive paper found with shelf liners at WalMart)
- Glue or double sided tape
- You may also want a glue gun. I found one for $4 at Walmart. =]
Step 1- Glue pictures/artwork back to back.
Step 2- Measure height and width of jar and cut picture accordingly (remember when you laminate the picture it will add a 1/4 in. or more) Also you want the picture to fit within the jar tightly.
Step 3- Laminate picture
Step 4- Place picture in jar ( depening on if you will have the jar upright or upside down)
Step 5- Place beads/glitter in jar
Step 6- Put jar in to bowl and then fill jar till it over flows with water ( this is important you want as little air as possible!)
Step 7- Place lid on jar ( I super glued mine just to be safe)
Step 8- Decorate jar as you please. =]
That is it! Have fun and stay frugal!
