How To Recycle Jars Tutorial
 Recycled Jar Art
I love jars. I never throw them away. I alway re-purpose them using my images a little paint and old jewelry. I use them for storage give them as gifts or sell them.
It is very green to recycle and it is very fun to make a little green while you are doing it.
Here Is How I recycle My Jars
I clean my jars and lids in the washer
I remove my labels under hot running water and use Goo Gone to get rid of the sticky residue.
If I am going to paint my lid I either use metal paint 2 oz. tubes I purchase at the craft store or I prime my lid with Kilz Primer and paint let that dry then paint my color.
Before I apply my image I clean the outside of my jar again with rubbing alcohol to remove any grease.
I apply my image following the How To Make Stickers tutorial on this web site.
To paint gold swirls I use fabric paints in a tube found at the craft store.
I apply Swaroski Crystals right to the gold paint
 To add vintage rhinestone jewelry Like I did in the witches Brew Jar I use a glue called E-6000 That can be found at Home Depot or any craft store.
That's it. I'm finished!
 Pricing You Re-Purposed Jars
Many people ask me how I price my jars. The jars are basically free but for the sake of pricing I use the cost of the item plus supplies x 3 plus a little extra.
The Witches Brew jar was once jam that cost $2.00 plus supplies a vintage diamond necklace that was .50 I purchased at the flea market.
That's $2.50 x 3 = $7.50 plus I added $1.00 The price of the Witches Brew Jar is $8.50
That means not only do I get my jam for free while helping the environment I also make money to buy more jam.
Good luck with your Jar Art
Thanks
