Ok I will like to point out that I really
didn’t do much to these except spray paint these jam jars silver but the fact
that I did so all by myself without having silver stained fingers tips at the
end of the spray paint process, gives me a sense of pride and I want to share
it dammit!!
I got the jam jars at Morrisons for £1.50 (which really is a bargain
and saves me having to eat through 3 jars of strawberry jam) and the silver spray paint I already owned from previous DIY
projects. I know I really could have left these jars the way they are but I
thought it would be a bit more practical to spray paint them a colour so that
my foundation thumb prints wouldn’t be visible
Things you will need
Jam Jar
Newspapers
Spray Paint (Colour of your choice)
Steps
1) Start off with a clean jar and remove
all packaging from the Jam Jar.
2) Roll up a sheet of newspaper and stick
it in the jar. This will prevent any paint from getting inside the jar
3) Lay out some newspaper on your work
surface as spray paints have the tendency to get a bit messy
4)Spray the jar in an upwards and downwards
motion to ensure jar has an even coating
5) Leave to dry in a well ventilated area
for a few hours and you’re done!!
I know this isn’t really rocket science but
I don’t often get a chance to do a tutorial on home improvements.
What
do you think of my new makeup brush holders? Would you have spray painted them
or left them in their original condition
