Clear Scraps Project Post

Hi everyone!  Laura here today with a little

springtime bouquet for you with this cute little

mason jar home decor canvas!

This project started with one of the cute Mini Pallets from Clear Scraps.

I started with a quick light coat of white paint as a primer

to make sure the wood surface was all covered.

The next step was to paint over this with a good thick coat of

aqua/blue colored acrylic paint.   After that was completely

dry, I painted over the surface with white crackle paint

to give the jar surface that aged texture.

After it dried, I rubbed over the surface a bit with

black distress ink to make the crackle show up

a bit more, then it was time to make the lid.

I applied embossing ink to the lid area only, then

embossed with silver embossing powder.

I repeated this over part of the lid to make it a little

uneven and a bit thicker to make it look more like metal.

To create the bouquet, I trimmed pieces of flowers

off of a floral bouquet stem and tied them

together tightly with some twine after they were

arranged the way I wanted them. (I held them

behind the jar as I did this to make sure the

flowers looked good "in" the jar!).

This bouquet was glued behind the jar using

Beacon Adhesive, which I also used to glue the jar

to the canvas after I tied on a bit of twine around

the bottom of the jar lid.  A few stickers and pearls,

added a little springtime touch to finish it off.
