It's WISE to DIY: Thrify Ideas for the Do-It-Yourselfer

I Have Never Seen Anyone Bake With Modge Podge!! These Mason Jars Look Amazing!!

If you saw and if you did the Mondrian inspired mason jars, then you may be in the mood for something a little easier.

This craft will do the trick.

According to itallstartedwithpaint, here is what you do:

1. Mix Mod Podge GLOSS with water and food dye. I used a 4 parts Mod Podge to 1 part water equation. I wanted a deep, rich blue color. If you want it more subtle, just add more water to the mix.

2. Pour into mason jar and swirl around.

Pour the excess back into your plastic cup.

3. Dry upside down for an hour. Periodically, wipe away excess paint from top lip. You can make a little drying rack using popsicle sticks. I didn’t have popsicle sticks, so I used some plastic forks.

4. Bake in oven at 200 degrees for one hour. I let mine bake for 30 minutes upside down. Then I turned them right side up for another 30 minutes. After an hour, turn off the oven and let the glass cool down inside the oven. Oh, and you should gently wipe the excess paint from the lip at the 10-15 minute mark.

(This quick wipe-down will prevent a ring of blue forming on the rim of the jar.)

The finished product is so pretty!

It’s so cool the way the Mod Podge dries clear.  Be sure to use GLOSSY Modge Podge.  Matte will not work!

I don’t see why you couldn’t use do any color tint you wanted on these.  Just change the paint color.
