I've been on the search for small vases to plant my succulents in and came across these Oui jars on Pinterest. I thought they were the cutest little things and had to give it a try.
I started collecting some recycled ones and researched how to dye them and went on with my way.
Here's how it's done!
What You Need:
Oui Jars
Food Coloring
A Mixing Utencil (I used a plastic knife)
Paper Towels, Wax Paper or Cardboard
An Oven
Cookie Sheet
Here's How It's Done
Start by washing your jars and removing the labels. If the label is being tough to get off, soak it in some warm soapy water and it should help.
Once the jar is clean and dry start by pouring about a table spoon and a half of mod podge into one of the jars.
Next add the food coloring, I wanted my jars to be different shades of blue so I added 8 drops of blue and 3-4 drops of green.
Mix this up right in the jar.
Once the color is completely mixed together, swirl it around until the entire jar is covered. Once you get to the edges I started holding it over a new jar so the excess liquid fell into that jar in order to re-use some mod podge and not waste a bunch.
Once all your jars have been covered, sit them upside down on some wax paper, a paper towel or cardboard. I used wax paper and didn't have much of a problem with it sticking together when it came time to move them.
Let the jars sit upside down for about an hour to let all the excess liquid run out of the jar.
Once completed, move the jars right side up onto a cookie sheet.
Pre-heat the oven to 215 degrees.
Once the oven is pre-heated, place your jars in there for about an hour, or until your jars are translucent agian.
Once done in the oven, remove them and let them cool.
Enjoy your new jars!
