I was provided with the stencils, glitter, and sponges for this project, but all opinions are entirely my own!
Hey, friends! Today I’m excited to share with you a project that combines two of my favorite things, glitter and Mod Podge! Add in a mason jar, and I’m one happy girl! I like to store my {many} rolls of washi tape in jars in my craft area, and I thought this was a cute and simple way to make them a little more interesting. What do you think?
Materials:
– empty glass jar
– Mod Podge {any type will do; I used glossy}
– Mod Podge Rocks! Peel and Stick Stencil: Dot Pattern
– Glitter
– sponge brush or spouncer
I was really excited to try out this product, because not only is it just a cool idea, it was designed by my friend Amy Anderson, who you may know from her blog Mod Podge Rocks! All I did was center the stencil on the front of the jar and rub it to make sure it was stuck in place. Then, I dabbed on a thick coat of Mod Podge and removed the stencil quickly. I finished by sprinkling glitter over the Mod Podge. Once the Mod Podge dried, it was easy to brush off the excess glitter. I will warn you that you need to work quickly because the Mod Podge can dry fast.
To add a sparkly finishing touch to my jar, I spread a coat of Mod Podge on the lid and added the same glitter all over it. Ahhhhh, sparkles!!
Now it’s got both fun AND function. Gotta love that! The Mod Podge Rocks! Peel and Stick Stencils are available in Michaels stores as well as Plaid’s website, and you can get them in a variety of fun patterns. One of my favorites besides the dots is Tangier, which I used to create my Stenciled Bangle. There are also videos on the Plaid site to give you tips for working with the stencils to get the best possible results!

February 17, 2014 at 9:26 AMI love your jar but to be honest I would have to have A LOT of them to hold my 100+ rolls of washi tape…. I may have a slight addiction to washi tape. 😉 The stencil sounds great, it’s so nice it sticks, I’m sure that made working on the glass much easier.

February 20, 2014 at 9:09 AMWanna know something funny? I have every single one of those same exact washi tapes. For real. (Awesome is as awesome does, right?!) This jar is super cute! I love mason jars anyway, but you slap some polka dots and glitter on one, and I’m in mason jar heaven! Cute!
