Mod Podge Jar

On 11 August, 2012 by Jackie

I seem to have a lot of Mod Podge and I am trying to find ways to use it up. I found this idea on Pintrest, but when following the link I couldn’t find the original website. (I hate that!) But anyway, I like this project and the end result was pretty cute. The jar can be used as a candle holder, or to hold make-up, pens/pencils, paint brushes, or even utensils for a dinner party. (check out my pictures below) If you have more ideas on what to use this jar for let me know!

What you will need:

Glass jar. I used an old jelly jar.
Scrapbook paper
Mod Podge
Sponge brush
Scissors
Newspaper

Lay newspaper down to protect surface under work. Measure scrapbook paper around width of jar and cut according to desired size.

Using sponge brush, start by painting a layer of Mod Podge on back of scrapbook paper. Lay scrapbook paper on jar; lightly smooth wrinkles or air bubbles away with end of brush.

Hold jar where there is no paper to avoid ruining design. Add a layer of Mod Podge to outside of paper, covering paper completely.

Allow to dry for 10 minutes and then add another layer; repeat until there are at least 3 layers. Allow to dry. To get edges to adhere to the jar, simply push with fingers around the round part of jar.
