Craft Lightning is here and it’s all about Decoupage! People have been using Decoupage for years and years and years. My grandmother was a big crafter and used Decoupage a lot. She is where I got my love of crafting from. I’m joining in with others to create quick and easy Decoupage projects.
Materials used:
- Mason Jar
- Beacon’s Fast Finish Decoupage
- Bristle Brush
- Colorful Tissue Paper
- A tray or bowl for your decoupage
- Sticker or Cut Out Letters
- Table Cloth or Paper to protect your workspace
- Small pieces of paper and pens for wishes!
How I made it:
Make sure your mason jar is clean and dry. Tear your tissue paper into small pieces.
Pour Decoupage into your tray or bowl. Lightly dampen your bristle brush with water and apply a layer of the Beacon’s Fast Finish Decoupage to the jar. TIP: Do not cover the threads of the jar for the lid.
Place the small pieces of tissue paper onto the wet surface of the jar.
You can do one of two things…..You can take this time to apply your sticker or cut out letters or you can wait until the end. If you choose to apply them now, place them where you’d like to and then apply another layer of Decoupage over the letters and the tissue paper. If you want to apply them at the end, apply the Decoupage all over the tissue paper and allow to dry before you place the letters on the jar.
Set your jar aside to dry.
I hope you enjoyed seeing how I made this awesome Make a Wish! Wishing Jar! This was super easy and super quick. The kids could even jump in on helping make it and decorate it however! They can help cut up pieces of paper to added their wishes to! Lots of fun for the whole family and everyone can add their wishes to the jar!
