Wedding project - Tinting mason jars with Stampin' Up! reinkers

 Wedding project - Tinting mason jars with Stampin' Up! reinkers


   Hello Ladies,

      For Emily's wedding we wanted the Quilted Mason jars to have a Tiffany Blue tint.  After trying several different methods we chose this one-
Modge Podge (gloss finish)
Stampin' Up! reinker- Coastal Cabana
water
I used a disposable solo cup to mix about 1 cup of Gloss Modge Podge  with just enough water ( a couple of teaspoons) to thin it out, added a few(6 or 7) drops of Stampin' Up! Coastal Cabana reinker and mixed well with a wooden stick.  I poured enough of the above mixture into one jar at a time to cover the bottom jar.  You then will tilt the jar at a angle and roll the jar in your hands letting the mixture coat the entire inside of your jar. When all sides are well covered pour as much as the leftover mixture into your next jar and repeat the same technique with each jar.  Put the jars into your oven at 200 degrees for about 1 hour or when they are clear.  You are not limited to blue jars Stampin' Up! has 48 different colors to choose from.  Please note- You cannot add water to these jars even after they are dry- water will dissolve the modge podge.
Thanks for looking, Cindy
