Birds Nest Box
Customer Photo Submission and Comments:
I bought this cute round box on E-bay. I loved the lid but the inside was so plain. It needed some love for sure. I found a napkin pattern with sunflowers that match the lid. Perfect! With some matching acrylic paint, polka dots and decoupage glue, this sweet box came to life.

Beach Bike Jar
Customer Photo Submission and Comments:
I made one for myself, now everyone in the family wants one! For the lid, I used Mod Podge with sparkle in it. I painted around the edge with a "sunflower" acrylic color. That is a nice match to the sand area. (I don't have a picture of the bottom of the jar. But it is painted with the "sunflower" acrylic paint also). On the jar itself I used Mod Podge glossy finish and put some touches of sparkle on just the water area. It looks like the sun is reflecting off the water.
Kitty Treat Jar
Customer Photo Submission and Comments:
I picked this pattern because she looks just like my precious kitty. I think the stenciling and tweed rope add a nice touch. I traced the inside of the stencil lightly with a pencil. Then I hand painted inside the pencil markings. This helped me control the paint better. I keep her favorite cat treats in here. :)
Lemon Jar

Adorable Lemon Jar!Â
Technique: Paint a glass jar with 1 coat of Gesso and 2 coats of white acrylic paint. Bake in the oven to harden. After cooling, apply top layer of 3-ply napkin using Mod Podge glue. Several more layers of glue are added over a period of days. Then a layer of varnish. My favorite varnish (after trying many) is Liquitex. It is thin, doesn't yellow and dries to a beautiful glossy finish. I've learned the hard way to wait a few days before applying the varnish layer. This allows the glue to completely dry. If you varnish too soon you may experience cracking all through the glue layer. Have fun! I love jars. :)
