tinting jars.

i saw this idea & "recipe" for tinting jars on...you guessed it...pinterest! love that site so much it is sickening! anyway, first just make sure your jar(s) of choice are all clean. then, mix up a batch of tint. i used 1 tspn. mod podge, 1 1/2 tspn. water, and 3 drops of food coloring. i used 2 drops of blue & 1 green.

then, just paint your jar(s) with a paint brush and set them to dry. they'll start to have a bunch of streaks on them, but don't worry...once it dries completely, i had no streaks at all. i just used 1 coat of tint. please note that these jars are not waterproof. you'd have to seal them if you plan on getting them wet but i'm not sure what you'd use &/or if it would change the look of the tint.

"thanks" jars decor.

i recently made these adorable little jars for some thanksgiving decor. i just used recycled frappuccinno bottles and tinted them (tutorial coming tomorrow).

i placed them on my console table on top of some burlap and added some wheat stalks that i found at fred meyer in their floral dept.

a closer look at each bottle...

i embossed each of the letters with espresso embossing powder to make them "pop" a little more than if just using ink.

lost control with the frosting on the cupcake in the lower right corner, but it still tasted delish with my pumpkin spice latte Ü
