Going Green for the Red, White, and Blue!
Here is our green craft for the week! I did not buy anything new for this project!
For our green projects, I use only things that I already have lying around.
I get to make pretties and save a little bit of room in the landfill!
You'll need:
Jars: Any size you like (Label removed and cleaned inside and out)
Adhesive cardstock, stickers, or adhesive vinyl
Stippling Brush
Acrylic Paint
Wire
Decorations
Candles
Scissors
First, decide what you are going to use for your mask. I used adhesive cardstock but you could use stickers, or adhesive vinyl. I used the Cuttlebug to die cut these stars and a straight cutter for the stripes.
Design your jars by firmly pressing your masks into place. Be sure to rub the edges to create a tight seal so no paint will seep under.
Use a relatively dry stippling brush and dab a small amount of paint onto the areas you want colored. If you want to completely cover the area it may take several coats. I was looking for a more textured look. Let it dry completely!
Carefully remove the masks.
Use wire to create a hanger as shown above.
Take some scraps of fabric, ribbon, fibers, whatever you happen to have to "Kick it up a notch!"
Place a candle inside and light them up!
Such a pretty and earth friendly way to celebrate our great U.S. of A!
