For awhile now I’ve been working on organizing and setting up my craft room. I’ve been a crafter my whole life and I’ve collected a lot of stuff. Sorting through it all has been hard and time-consuming, but I’m starting to see the fruits of my labors. Hallelujah! I will show pictures when I’m all done.
I’ve been looking for a way to organize all the little stuff and I had been seeing several tutorials on how to color jars. I love the effect. I thought that might be my answer. I thought about buying some of the vintage inspired blue jars but then remembered all the jars I already have and could color them to match my room better. So, that’s just what I did.
This is such an easy and fast process.
First, I chose wide-mouthed jars because they would hold more and ran them through the dishwasher.
I then mixed 1/2 cup of Mod Podge, 2 TBL. of water, and enough food coloring to make a good deep color.
I chose to use paste food coloring because it would give me a more vibrant color. This mixture allowed me to do 10 jars.
I then poured about 2 TBL. into a jar and started rolling the jar to cover the inside with the mixture.
When completely covered I drained the remaining paint out of the jar back into the mixture cup. I then placed the jars upside down on wax paper to finish draining and to start to dry.
After about an hour I turned them right side up and placed the jars on a cookie sheet. I put them in a 200 degree oven for about an hour to finish drying.
You’re done. I decided to add an additional color to the jars and spray painted lids and put them on top. I love the color and effect they have in my vintage craft room. Can’t wait to show you the rest of the room and other ideas I have for organizing.
