  • How to make a jar. Coloring Book Jar Makeover - Step 3
    Step 3

    1. Measure the jar from top to base
    2. Cut out the shape so it fits around the jar
    3. Cut slits every 1/2" or so along the top and bottom so that it can easily fit around the tapered ends of the jar when you decoupage
    4. Mist the paper on the front and back side to relax it
    *This ensures you have no bubbles when you apply it
    5. Apply the decoupage to a section of the jar and keep adding it around the jar as
    you adhere the paper
    6. Coat the entire jar with more decoupage
    7. When completely dry, scrape off the excess around the mouth with a craft knife for a clean edge
    8. Use a paint marker around the mouth edge to give it a nice finish
    9. Fill them with your writing tools
