Recycled Altered Glass Jar

Now this is a technique I love doing.

First I cleaned and dried the glass jar thoroughley, it needs to be absolutely greace free. You can either paint on the jar directly with acrylic paint or cover it first as I did. Using pieces of masking tape I covered my jar completely, making sure I go criss cross with little pieces of tape to create a nice texture.

I then painted over it with Lumiere paint and let it dry overnight, I made sure that I can still use the jar and covered the lid only with paint.

To decorate the jar I cut out 4 squares (to cover all four sides of the jar) with my spellbinders using chipboard because you need a strong surface for the Faux Cloisonne technique. You can find a tutorial of this technique here. I used black utee to create the 3 layers and perfect pearls and moonglow to colour the black layer. With the dragonfly stamp - using the Brilliance Galaxy Gold I stamped in the utee after I re-heated it. The perfect pearl colours mix beautifully with the utee and the Galaxy Gold, I love the effect of this technique.
