Making decoupage on glass jars

If you have cans for bulk products, with your own hands you can make containers for storing coffee, tea, sugar, salt and other foods. In doing so, you will spend very little effort and money. The decoupage technique was so carried away by so many people that they designed not only kitchen equipment, but also furniture items in this style.

To decoupage a glass jar you will need:

• empty glass container;
• three-layer napkins;
• glue for decoupage (you can use ordinary PVA);
• acrylic paint;
• if you want to create a relief, you can use an egg shell.

Decoupage on a glass jar:

1. If you decide to make jars for bulk products with your own hands, then you should take an empty glass container and wash it thoroughly with dishwashing detergent.
2. We paint the glass vessel with acrylic paint. For this purpose, white, blue, beige or another light shade is suitable. You can create a saturated color if you paint several times.
3. If you want to create a beautiful relief on the jar, then at this stage it is necessary to glue the crushed eggshells to the container.
4. We take triple napkins with the image you are interested in. Separate the top layer with a pattern from the other two. If a fragment is needed, and not a whole napkin, we tear it off.
5. We apply PVA glue to the container.
6. Glue the napkin and smooth it with a dry brush on the surface.
7. If you stuck to the surface with an egg shell, then you may have left unpainted areas-spaces. In this case, it is best to use a plain paint with a napkin and paint over the gaps. Allow to dry.
8. We cover the container with varnish. It is best to use colorless acrylic. It is odorless and dries quickly. It is necessary to cover in three to four layers.

Do-it-yourself jar for bulk products is ready! It can be decorated with ribbons, pebbles, beads or other decor - it all depends on the overall design of the kitchen and your personal preferences.

Important! In deciding how to decorate cans for bulk products with your own hands, decoupage is the best option. This is because you paint all surfaces from the outside. They do not come in contact with food. And besides, all the necessary items for decoupage are absolutely harmless and safe for human health, are cheap, and the result is incredibly interesting.
