COPPER POLKA DOT MASON JAR

MY LATEST VIDEOS

The first step is always the same.  Wipe the jar down with rubbing alcohol to remove any dust or grime from the glass.

To decorate this mason jar, I chose to use some metallic trim from Martha Stewart Crafts and Aleene’s adhesive.  You could replicate this look with decoupage, but I wanted to make sure my decoration was waterproof, so I went with the Aleene’s.
 

 The process could not have been simpler.  I added adhesive to the sides of jar, wrapped the trim around the jar, and cut the trim when it began to overlap.  I repeated that process until the whole jar was covered.

One word of warning: This adhesive means business, which means it is also very stinky.  Make sure to have some good ventilation when you are using it!

I have a few ideas for how I am going to use this pretty copper mason jar, but you will have to come back tomorrow to find out what they are!
