BoHo Inspired Jars With Magical Mysteries How To

Hello Creatives!

Welcome to INSPIRE!

Today I want to share a quick tutorial,

 on how to up-cycle a simple glass jar,

and turn it into something "MAGICAL".

My latest obsession is the oh so yummy

Oui Yogurt, specifically the Mango Oui Yogurt.

YUMMO!!!!!

The jars are starting to pile up, so it is time

to do something crafty with these gems.

First, cleaning the jars. 

These labels are tough to remove!

I soaked them in scalding hot water, and once I could get a corner lose in soak, I peeled the labels from the jar.

To remove the tack left behind, I used Best Cleaner Ever by ScraPerfect, which is an environmentally safe cleaner.

Once the tack was removed, I washed with soapy warm water, and towel dried.

For one jar, I chose a mini stencil for the design. 

Using Nuvo Crystal Drops in Clear, I traced the stencil design unto the jar.

I then reached for Rita Barakat's Magical Mysteries Embossing Powder in Kiss of the Fairy and applied over the Nuvo Crystal Drop design.

For the rim and bottom, I added Magical Mysteries EP in Midnight Magic.

Using my heat tool, I set the first application of the embossing powder, and while the area was still warm, I added another coating of the powder.

To give each jar a jeweled look, I used the embossing ink applied to the smooth area's of the jars, and applied the embossing powders, setting the powders with heat tool and reapplying until I had achieved desired finish.

So, if you are like me, and have jars saying 

around that can be given new life, reach for 

Magical Mysteries Embossing Powders

and create something beautiful too!
