Hellooooo! I had one of these last year and it was lovely to open it up and read all the lovely memories on New Years Eve! When you look back and think that you have had an awful year it makes you realise that there were some amazing moments! So when we were asked to have a go with glass paints at The Craft Barn I knew what I wanted to do! I found a pretty jar in the back of a kitchen cupboard that had had home-made jam in and tarted it up...
I know I can't paint a circle so moving swiftly on...the lid...
and a close up of the tag...
- Thoroughly wash and dry the jam jar. Using the Pebeo Vitrail Paints paint random circle. Leave to dry and apply a second coat. Leave to dry.
- Using a very fine brush or an old pencil apply dots around the circles. When dry paint the top and bottom of the jar.
- Using white card punch out a label with the Woodware Punch and colour with Spiced Marmalade Distress Ink. Stamp and emboss in Blue Tinsel the Smile quote from PaperArsty Hotpick XT04. Decorate the jar with fancy ribbons, threading the label on as you go.
It is now looking like a ray of sunshine on my sideboard! So...have you made a 'Happy' jar???
Thank you for taking a look and keep smiling! HUGS xxx

Hi there! I have never worked with tiles before and I now know that I would happily do so again! You can use a lot of different mediums on them and they are cheap at 99p each...now that has to be a bonus. I have decorated 4 to make coasters as a Christmas present - got to start thinking about the 'C' word now haha!
It was my turn to do a tutorial for these over at The Craft Barn Blog so to see how I made them take a look *HERE*. They are really easy peasy! Now that I have done these I shall be more adventurous next time :D Thank you for popping by, take care, HUGS xxx
