This is such a fun mug! I was browsing at Michael’s and found this glass mason jar with a handle and thought it would look really cute with a stenciled design on it. I also found a colored lid with a hole for a straw. I could already see it in my mind.
Things You Will Need:
Lid
Straw
Stencil
Mason jar
Paint brush
Glass paint
*Get reusable stencils. They stick to whatever you’re painting on and come clean with hot water. You can reuse them as many times as you want.
Step 1
Stick your stencil onto your mug. Press your finger down across the glass to make sure the stencil is flat.
Step 2
Paint the glass paint over top of the stencil. Depending on the brand you chose, you might need a few layers of paint.
Do this the whole way around the mug.
Step 3
Follow the directions on the paint you chose. Mine tells me to let the paint dry for 4 days and then bake the glass in the oven at 325 degrees for 30 mins. Yours might be different.
I don’t know if I can wait 4 days! I’m pretty excited 🙂
Let me know what you think! Would you make one? What kind of design would you use on it?
[ Smiles ] Beautiful!
Thank you!! It was a fun project. I can’t wait til it dries 🙂
Neat
Want to make one? We could paint flowers on it!
love it … but where did you get a jar with a handle?
I found mine at Michael’s (craft store). If you can’t find one at your local craft store, there are some on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Libbey-Drinking-Jar-Handle-2-Ounce/dp/B0077D5T3Q/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1406568427&sr=8-1&keywords=Mason+jar+with+handle
Of course, you would have to buy more than one, though.
I see some iced coffee safely capped next to the laptop in mine…
which will have flowers on it. 🙂 Thanks for the idea!
Awesome, Ellen! You will have to send me pictures! I want to see how it turns out 🙂
Very cute!
Thank you very much 🙂
