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

This Mason Jar Craft Is No Ordinary Looking DIY!

I have actually never worked with these Gallery Glass Paints.  But what a beautiful effect they create!

This crafter was going for a Mondrian inspired effect which she created using peel and stick lead lining and liquid lead to fill in the gaps.

Using a butter knife and fingernails, she mapped out the pattern and then filled in the holes with the liquid lead.

Then she began painting with the primary colors she had chosen to match the Mondrian pattern.  The paint is applied directly from the bottles so it’s actually pretty easy.  Two coats later, she had her artistic vision!

They will look great with candles in them!

Have you ever worked with this type of paint or with lead before?

Thank you to masonjarcraftslove for this great idea and pics!

    If you can’t find these paints in your area, all you have to do is mix acrylic paints with Elmer’s school glue. Works great!

    1/2 and 1/2 ? or something else?

    Enough to get the color you want. It’s not exact measuring. Very forgiving

  7. This product is fantastic. I’ve done full windows in rentals. It is removable when needed but looks just like staind glass..

  8. This product is great. It looks wonderful on windows and can be done on rental windows like I did here as it is removable. It does not attract dust either.

  9. Sorry, I just love the stuff!!!!!
