Supplies needed:

  • Darice 3” inch Glass Jar w/ Snap Lid
  • VIVA Decor Glitter Liner,  color Silver #902
  • VIVA Decor Glitter Liner,  color Gold # 901
  • VIVA Decor Pearl Pen,  color Gold #901
  • Self adhesive stencil from the VIVA Decor line “My Paper World”
  • 3 Paper Flowers
  • 1” Square sponge
  • palette knife
  • Darice rhinestone
  • Glue
  • paper plate or palette

Memo: For best result, keep the glass surface dirt and grease free.

 

Step 1

Squeeze a small amount of VIVA Decor Glitter Liner Silver onto a plate. Gently dab with a sponge square until the color is evenly saturated.  Apply  to the lid of jar, achieving a shimmering surface by dabbing on the color with the sponge. Let  dry.

 

Step 2

Apply a self-adhesive stencil on the surface of jar and fill the stencil with  Glitter Liner gold. Smooth over with a palette knife. Peel off the stencil, while the color is still wet. Clean the stencil immediately with water and blot.

 

Step 3

Squeeze a small amount of VIVA Decor Glitter Liner Gold onto a plate. Gently dab with a sponge square until the color is evenly saturated.  Apply Glitter Liner gently by dabbing with sponge from the underside to the outer side of petals. Let dry.

 

Step 4

Decorate the top of the glass with the paper flower: Fold 1 flower in half and 2nd flowers to a quarter and glue them together.  Apply a few half-round pearl droplets with the VIVA Decor Pearl Pen gold. Let it dry. Add a self-adhesive rhinestone to the middle of the flower.
