Ingredients
- Mason Jars I used wide mouth but this method will work on any glass bottles or jars
- White Glue such as Elmer's Glue
- Food Coloring
- Jute Twine
- Paintbrush
- Scissors
- Paper Plate or something to put the glue on and then throw away
- Craft sticks or something else to mix up the glue mixture
- Wax Paper
- Baking Sheet
Instructions
- Add a couple of tablespoons of glue to the paper plate.
- Next, add a few drops of food coloring to the glue. More food coloring will give the jars a richer color while less will create a more pastel look.
- Pour the glue into your mason jar.
- Twist and turn the jar to coat the inside, use the paintbrush to be sure you have evenly coated the inside of the jar.
- Turn the jar upside down on a paper plate to allow the excess paint mixture to drain out.
- After that, place the jar upside down on a newspaper, paper towel, or paper plate for 30 minutes. (Check periodically and wipe away any extra paint that might collect around the top of the jars).
- Preheat the oven to the WARM setting.
- Place the jars upside down on a baking sheet lined with wax paper.
- Bake for 30 minutes.
- Allow the glass to cool completely before handling.
- Wrap the jute around the top of the jar several times and then tie a bow. You can add a dot of hot glue to secure the jute if you wish.
Notes
Add fresh flowers or tealights to style your sea glass mason jars.
