Wendi's Valentine Project

My friend Wendi Ellis recently posted these on her Facebook page and I begged her to let me share the steps with you on my blog.  Wendi is one of those super crafty moms, who doesn't necessarily admit that she's crafty.  However, give her a project and she can do it and, oftentimes, do it better!  I'm excited to say that she gave me permission to share these steps!

Supplies:

ModPodge

Paint Brushes

Various Colors of Glitter

Clean dry empty jars

Paint a design(stripes, heart, letters, polka dots) on inside of jar with ModPodge and then pour a bit of glitter inside and roll around to cover your design. Tap the jar upside down onto a plate a few times to remove excess glitter.

To use multiple colors on one jar, let the first color dry completely before adding the next color, this keeps them from mixing.

After you have finished the designs and glue has dried, coat the entire inside of jar with a thick layer of ModPodge and allow to dry for at least 24 hours. This will form a seal over the glitter to help with flaking(although you may still get a little).

Here is a picture of the finished project:

Wendi tells me her next plan is to paint a letter on each jar to spell out the word "LOVE".  This is an easy Valentine project that you can do with or without kids and what a cute decoration!
