THE TINTED JAR CRAZE

have you gotten into the tinted jar craze that’s all over Pinterest? there’s so many ways to tint a jar, so which is the best way? the right way? the wrong way?

1.there’s the modgepodge & food coloring method

2.the glass paint  on the inside method

3.the white glue & food coloring method

4. the tinted glass stain method

5. the glass paint on the outside method

I’m going to attempt one of these ways & make a supply station of my scissors ,pencils, paint brushes etc for the sewing room, leaning towards pink for the color, I love the softness of the M.P & food color but haven’t found anything promising as far as the color being permanent, we know that glass paint will cover glass but is that the easy way out? lol! what do you think? have you tried tinting jars, if so , did it work?

being sick all week I didn’t get my entry in on time for the judging, but that’s ok, I finished it! talk about a challenge, I decided to take an old cardigan that was bound for the thrift store & recreate it into a scarf

I had found the inspiration to make the pattern from here

yep a good ole envelope 

 the razor is my ideal of a new tool,”defuzzer”  is that even a word? according to spell check it’s not lol!, anyways it worked great!

so I began to cut my strips out & sewing them together & waa la!

maybe pulled through & thicker around the neck?

maybe loose & free ?

maybe a half knot? am I saying that right? I've been sick, I’m just saying lol! now that I look at it I may of liked all  the solids at the bottom, fever talking maybe? lol!
