D.I.Y Gradient Jars

 

 

 

Hello Everyone!

 

Here in Melbourne, we've been having some beautiful spring weather lately. I just couldn't pass up this opportunity to prepare some craft tutorials for you all!

Todays post has got to be one of the simplest, most effective DIY's I've done and its one I'm very excited to share with you all!

For this DIY, you'll need:

 

  

• Assorted glass jars with labels removed
• Any paint that has a really runny consistency (I used poster paint)
  - You'll need white and any other colour of your choice
• A plastic container for mixing colours

 

NOTE: if you decided to use glass bottles instead of jars, you will also need a funnel.

Lets get started!

 

 For the first jar, mixing colours isn't required, so just pour a generous amount of the coloured paint into one of the jars.

For the next jar, mix 3/4 coloured paint to 1/4 white paint in the plastic container. The 3rd jar will be 1/2 coloured to 1/2 white and then the 4th one is 1/4 coloured to 3/4 white. The final jar requires only white paint.

 

 

Twist the jar so the paint inside is evenly spread around the walls of the jar. You may need to use more paint if you find it isn't spreading anymore.

 

Once the inside of the jar is fully covered with paint, Tip the jar upside down and leave it on some cardboard so the excess paint can drip out.

 

Once you're sure the excess paint has been tipped out, leave the jars right side up to dry (I left my jars for a couple of days).

 

 

 

Then that's it!

These jars are so adorable and they were so easy to make! Don't you just love the look of them? Please let me know what you think of this idea and also let me know if you decide to create them- I'd love to see your photos!

Have a wonderful weekend!
