I've been collecting jars for some time and bought some beautiful decopatch paper which fits in perfectly with my colour theme. These were my supplies for the afternoon:
Firstly I put a bit of PVA glue directly on the jar, then a small piece of torn paper and then a little bit more glue to seal the paper and act like a varnish. I did four jars, of all shapes and sizes, this afternoon.
The evening is now upon us so I have put a tealight in my first jar to see how it looks. I really like the effect of the overlapping paper, it reminds me of autumn leaves (and helpful fiance says we could use them at Halloween....).
ok, so i'm just now commenting... goodness, child - you're such a talented artist! I SO wish i could see/be/smell/taste/hear your wedding... the decorations and garter and lights and everything are just lovely! and i adore the pompoms...how are you using them - in vases? hanging from the ceiling? could you put them in a box if you wanted to make in advance, or is it best to hang? i love Love LOVE! I'm so happy for you & your London Marathon runner man...consider yourself hugged ((((((n)))))
