We decided to treat ourselves (OK, myself) on this one though and went to a local speciality lighting store to get exactly the right one.
Now I kinda like it.. OK, so for real, it’s time to spray paint now..Separate your lid and your jar and place them on some newspaper or an old box or something outside.. You’ll need to do about 3 really light coats to get a nice even finish.
Let it dry for about 5 minutes between coats.. As for the paint, honestly I’ve used all different kinds on different pottery pieces, even the really dirt cheap stuff, and it always works just fine.The only difference is how easy or difficult it is to use.The cheapo paints tend to drip more easily and therefore you need to do more coats and make them lighter.
Because of my impatience, I like to use a good quality paint like this to make the job as easy and fun as possible.. A nice gloss white is always my favorite on pieces like this, but feel free to experiment!It’s only paint and you can paint right over it again if you don’t like it!.
So that’s pretty much it!.
I’ve been seeing white ginger jars like this showing up in trendy decor catalogs more and more over the last couple of years for BIG bucks.Online Fabric Store.
sent me a few weeks ago.I’m so glad that this bunting trend doesn’t seem to be going anywhere because I love them and I’ve finally learned how to make my own in a way that’s easy enough for someone as impatient as me.
It’s a lovely thing!.I’m sure there are many “better” methods out there for making these, used by the “real” sewers of the world.
