Thank you for a good, easy tutorial about how to paint glass jars. After I watched it, I got 2 jars out & did exactly what you said and they turned out beautiful!
I LOVE ALL of the video tutorials I’ve watched so far! Your step by step instructions are clear and to the point without a lot of unnecessary filler which I truly appreciate!
I appreciate this video so much! I have a few candle jars that are clear that I would love to turn into clear amber jars. I’m planning on turning them into soy wax candles - so filling the jar with hot wax is an important part of the process! Could you give me some guidance on painting these candle jars? Thank you!
I start with paint primer, which makes the paint stick to the glass. It's the same primer you use in professional painting. (I used to be a contractor.) You can buy primer in any paint store.
Hi, I'm new to this but loving having a go, you're very inspiring. I made your chalk paint in black but it's dried more of a grey colour any tips in keeping it dark?
The acrylic latex interior housepaint dries stretchy not stiff like regular acrylic paint does.Because of this acrylic latex interior housepaint doesn't crack on non-absorbent surfaces like glass,plastic and metal.Regual acrylic paint (without the additional latex) dries stiff and therefore cracks on all non-absorbent surfaces as soon as it's dry. Another form of acrylic latex interior housepaint (that dries stretchy not stiff on non-absorbent surfaces) is multisurface paint and chalkboard paint sold at Dollar Tree.
What about using acrylic paints on like glass pumpkins? Do you need a primer? Can you use acrylic on / over chalk paint for the stencil design? Or maybe better clarified . . . Can chalk paint be used as the primer for the acrylic? Also, doesn’t the Varathane top coat cause yellowing? I was always told to use Polycrylic?? And when you seal the jar, if you used the acrylic over chalk paint, does that keep the acrylic from coming off?
Thanks for watching ♥️ I always use chalk paint as the base and then yes you can put acrylic over top of that. I always seal with a poly acrylic sealer on all my projects. Hope that helps 🌸
Thanks for this video!!! Love them all. Did you print the graphics on regular printer paper with an inkjet printer??? I have done some decoupage and printed the pictures on my ink jet printer, but, had to spray them with a coat of sealer, other wise, when I did it before, the ink ran once the Modge podge touched it. So, any information or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Hope u can help. I need to paint some clear light globes to match an antique one. It needs to be similar transparent and white. Can u guide me to the right product?
Glass Tinting Tutorial / Transform Your Glass with a Splash of Color ua-cam.com/video/IWpM4nrhu3w/v-deo.html Wonder if this technique would work with white acrylic paint
Hi, should the glass be sanded before painting to keep the paint adhered to the smooth glass surface? Just curious if the paint would peel off. Thank you
Great tutorial. Thank you very much. Can I bake the painted jars with the graphics to seal the homemade chalk paint and make the finished items washable?
They will not be washable with chalk paint on them. You can sell them well with poly acrylic but that will make them water resistant so you can wipe with a damp rag. Thanks for watching Andrea
@@OurUpcycledLife Thank you very much for your response. Can you suggest a specific polyacrylic sealer? Do you think mod podge will work? I am painting Kratky containers for plants and time to time the jars will need to be washed.
I don’t think a chalk painted jar will stand up to be washed even with a sealer on it. You might be better off to spray paint them . That would be more durable ❤️
I love watching all our videos and your beautiful creations. I sure wish you sold the transfers...I don't have the right kind of printer so I can't make them. Wish someone sold different ones for people like me. :)
Mam, this is my first time visiting ur channel and I jus wanna say I LOVE your intro music😂🔥 I was dancing having a whole party to the music by myself 😂😂😂
I just discovered your channel. I luv what you are doing and have subscribed. Will soon be binge watching your channel. Do you have a video on painting the inside of bottles? I am making a Bottle Tree for my garden and I think I would like to paint some bottles kind of tie dyed.
Glad you found me ! Hope you find lots of great content! I only have a video to tint the inside of glass and it wouldnt be waterproof ua-cam.com/video/121TMYQYtLI/v-deo.html
Having trouble finding that Varathane that you used but will poly acrylic do the same thing since that's what your link is for? Sorry if this is a dumb question.
So I'm planning opening my own small business and was wondering I'm going to be painting the designs on would this still work for the paint so it doesn't chip and come off ?
Hello, I have a question. I want to paint the inside of a jar with chalk paint but am I able to put water in it afterwards? I want to use it as a vase. Thank you
@@OurUpcycledLife thank you for responding. Someone gave me a suggestion. They said I can paint the inside and then use a sealant. They said I can use mod podge but the dishwasher one. What do you think?
I leave it over night❤️ I have a playlist with full tutorials on how to do this process if interested ua-cam.com/play/PLC85BOmPdNWqanIN8jLotTXUzJeDawFl5.html
@@niksgupta8168 they have a "dishwasher safe" modpodge version. It has a blue label. But after using it, you still need to give it 28 days to cure before exposing it to water.
@@OurUpcycledLife yea I think maybe there was something on the jar. I started a 2nd one n waiting for it to dry n this one the paint went on better. Thx U ❤
@@OurUpcycledLife I only asked cuz I bought a LG bottle of acrylic paint for a project over estimating how much I really needed , have plenty left over

Really thanks to share this video it is very helpful😊
Can we use normal paint😳
Just a suggestion! If you apply the paint with a sponge dauber, tap it on, you won’t have any streaks and you get great coverage! ❤️
Thanks that's a great tip!! ♥️
Sponge dobbers are great for this technique.
Or spray paint
@747.royale Most of us only have small rooms to paint in
Spray paint is not an option. Would sure be faster, though!

Beautiful! Where can I get the wording?
Can you put water & flower in these without ruining the outside finish?
Can you use this method on plastic jars ?
I don't because if the water does get on it it will lift. If doing this technique on plastic I spray paint with a primer first then chalk paint

Great videos… you have a new subscriber 😉. Could I use ‘store bought’ chalk paint, or is there something particular about your recipe?
Thanks for following along Trish. Yes you can def use store bought chalk paint. I just like to make my own because it is more affordable
Thanks so much for your quick response (I find other you-tubers not to be so helpful)!!
Is there a specific label you have to use when you put on the Modge podge lettering on the jar
I use the mod podge reverse graphic to put on my jars. Here is a tutorialua-cam.com/video/J0MM3SyecCM/v-deo.html
Nice. What if I want shine! Chalk paints seems dull/matt finish. Thanks.
Thanks for watching Cindy! You can put a poly acrylic sealer over your chalk paint in any finish and that will work fine
I am having a terrible problem keeping the chalk paint from showing brush marks and also peeling and chipping. Help!
Make sure glass is really clean and are you using chalk paint? If you have lots of brush marks do your last coat with a sponge and dab it on
can I apply my glass jar graphic once my jar has been sealed with varathane
It will adhere better to a chalk painted surface . Thanks for watching
Could you use a primer and then use acrylic paint?
I’m sure that would work fine! I haven’t tried that ❤️ let me know how it works
Yes, 2 or 3 light coats of gesso should hold acrylic paint just fine
Do you ever paint the inside of bottles, for outside, I do bottle trees, trying to learn hot to do this right
YOu can tint them but not sure how it would stand up being outside: ua-cam.com/video/121TMYQYtLI/v-deo.html
Would I be able to hot glue rhinestones or different materials on it after applying the chalk and varathane?
Yes you sure could have fun creating
Just wanted to ask is there an alternative for these wipes ?
You can just put alcohol on a cloth
how long do you wait in between coats for the paint to dry before applying the second coat?
Will depend on your humidity
What yo use as a sealer on chalk paint... Does mod podge work???

How do you transfer the lettering? Is it just printed and placed on the jar or would that be backwards?

Yes you certainly can I use poly acrylic water based sealer
Hi! Can you use mod podge to seal it at the end ?
Yea sure can
Can we use mod podge for making it waterproof?
Mod podge will not make it waterproof unless you buy the dishwasher safe type.
Then how can we make it waterproof so that we can wash it

Anybody try gluing on embellishments? Does the chalk paint hold? And if so what kind of glue did you use? Thanks, from Victoria BC. :D
Yea you can and it will hold use E6000

no matter what do or how long it dries when putting second coat it comes off, what am I doing wrong
Are you using a chalk paint?
She's using a chip brush, the very cheap brush that you use to apply paint stripper to furniture. A better quality brush won't give her streaks.
Can I wash it on a daily basis? And use it as my daily bottle of water?
This is not washable. for decor purpose only :) thanks for watching

No disrespect but there are so many chalk paints that will leave no streaks that are not expensive. This is so much work. No latex !
