I love decorating my place - and because I do not have a tone of money to spend on that hobby I love doing DIYs. You can buy jars like this one in every home decor store nowadays but it is so easy and more inexpensive to make them your own. All you need is a jar of what ever size you want (mine was just a glass of cherries), an permanent marker (that writes on glass permanently) and some kind of pattern you want to draw on the jar.
If there are any labels on the jar you want to use you can let it soak in warm water and soap for a few minutes so you can easily peal of the labels. When the jar is clean and dry you are ready to continue. I wanted a simple "S" on mine for "straws" because that is what I wanted to store in it. I printed out the letter "S" in "Algerian" in a size 200 and cut it out. If you want any other designs you can add them around the letter. After that you put the paper inside the jar, position it where you want the design to be and tape it to the glass so it does not move anymore. Then you take your your permanent marker and draw your design directly onto the jar. I had to do two coats until it was opaque. The only thing you have to do now is to remove the draft from within the jar and you are done!
Do you do DIYs to decorate at home? Do you have any ideas for me to do?
