Sweet Treat Christmas Jar
Posted by DecoArt on Dec 18th 2013
Items Needed:
- Glass Paint Brushes
- Glass Jar
Instructions:
Using the glass chalkboard paint, I freehanded a label using a SIZE brush onto a pretty apothecary jar.
After letting it dry overnight and baking TIME at 350*, it was ready to write on. I used a chalkboard marker and wrote the words “SWEETS” on the chalkboard label.
To create the hanging “for Santa” chipboard scallop tag I used Cottonball white and painted over the tag. Using a google “deer head silhouette” search I free handed an image in Cocoa Bean brown onto the center of the tag.
I added a little red nose (hi Rudolph!) in Lipstick red.
For a pop of green, I painted the outside scallops Turf Green and freehanded “for Santa” in the chalkboard paint over the deer. Phew! I’ve been so spoiled with DecoArt’s cute stencils that I forgot how time consuming freehand painting can be! ;)
This little sweets jar for Santa goes well with my Christmas mantle and I am excited to refill the treats throughout the season.
Happy Holidays!
