Weekend Projects: Pastel Glass Jars

2011-07-05T00:43:06-07:00

Painting Pastel Glass Jars

The problem: I have this bunch of jars lying around my house. I have no idea what to do with them, but on another hand, feel too guilty to throw them out! (tsk tsk the media and their environmental messages!)

So i found this extremely useful and thought of sharing this with everyone.

Reblogged from kootut murut

This week has been a whirlwind with so many things happening I haven’t had time to blog. Very exciting but also busy. However, here is the DIY project I promised you. Since I got a new working space I’ve been trying to organize it the best I can. I bookmarked these instructions ages ago and now found use for them. I also found use for our leftover paints and glass jars that tend to pile up in cupboards.

The project was pretty straight-forward and simple, it took mostly patience. What you need is:

paint
glass jars
lids
old newspapers (to cover the working surface)
spray paint (optional)

We have a large(ish) collection of jam and jalopeno jars from which it was easy to choose matching jars. The paint should be thick enough so it’ll stick to glass, but not too thick. I usedUula Into in different colors. The yellow Into was too thick, I should have diluted it with water (Uula Into is water-thinnable). The others were fine.

And this is what you do. Clean and dry the jar thoroughly. Pour in some paint.

Swirl and shake. Twist and turn. It helps if you close the lid, that way you don’t get paint all over.

Pour the most excess paint back in the paint can.

Leave the jar upside down to drip (lid on!) I left mine overnight.

Pour out the remaining excess paint.

This is what happens when your paint is too thick. It stays like that. You can try to wipe it, but be careful not to remove too much. You don’t want clear glass to show.

Wipe the rim clean before the paint dries. If the paint does dry, you may need to scratch it with your finger nails. Leave the jar to dry. This will take quite long. Normally Uula Into dries in 2 hours, but now it took 2-3 days.

Now you have a pretty place to stuff your pens and pencils (for example). I’m happy because the jars have freed up more space on my drawing table AND they look nice.

You can also spray paint the lid and use the jar to store little trinkets. I labeled mine with old school Dymo. At least here you can get them from Clas Ohlson. If your paint is not water-soluble (like mine was) you could use the jars also as flower vases.

Say hi to the newbiesss!!

Glitz Creation bookbinding class @ The Handmade Movement

2011-04-25T06:56:59-07:00

Glitz Creation bookbinding class @ The Handmade Movement

Last Saturday, I had been invited to a bookbinding class by two very awesome ladies- Nadhrah (glitz creations) and Beii (the handmade movement) I must say, a saturday very well spent! :D :D

A little background info: My sifu of the day, Nadhrah is the brainchild behind Glitz Creation, a website which specializes in very pretty paper crafts. Think notebooks, scrapbooks, wedding albums and quirky gift boxes. She is collaborating with The handmade movement, which is a newly minted establishment strategically located opposite Sunway shopping mall that gives short classes on arts and crafts.

Back to the class, Nadhrah brought more than enough tools and materials to go around. In fact, had already prepared little kits for all of us to start our project. She was generally very cheery and helpful to everyone of us throughout the entire lesson. Oh, not to mention attentive: I swear if one of us even starts to show signs of struggling with anything (ie blur face), she'd swoop over us and ask us if we're stuck/confused. lol.

Overall, the class was refreshing and fun, something out of the usual I do during the weekend (sit at home watch series/walking aimlessly in shopping malls trying to find that missing piece to fill that endless void in my closet :P)

My masterpiece.So pretty til abit sakit hati to use it la :P

For those busy city folks, its a great way to pick up a new hobby (I dont know about you people, arts/crafts tend to calm me down) And its a whole lot of knowledge imparted in a few short hours. Definitely will leave the room feeeling better about yourself (hey, you can cross off "pick up a new hobby" from your new year's resolution already! :P)
