TOOLS

Instructions
 

  • Wash and dry mason jars completely.
  • For the Minnie Mouse jar, apply a base coat of the paint color Lipstick to the entire jar. Set aside to dry. Apply a second coat, if necessary.
  • For the Mickey Mouse jar, apply a base coat of the paint color Lipstick to the bottom one-third of the jar, and the paint color Black Tie, to the top two-thirds. Set aside to dry. Apply a second coat, if necessary.


    painted jars
  • Trace jar lid on black craft foam with white pencil, eight times, and then cut out with scissors.


    tracing ears
  • Layer two circles on top of each other and attach with liquid glue. This will create four ears to attach to the jar lids later.


    sticking foam circles together
  • Apply a base coat using the paint color Black Tie to both of the jar lids. Set aside to dry. Apply a second coat, if necessary.
  • Cut a small notch from each ear and attach them to each side of a jar lid with a glue gun.


    attaching ears with glue gun
  • Attach two white buttons to Mickey jar with liquid glue. Position them towards the top of the red part of the jar, side by side to mimic the buttons on Mickey's shorts.


    gluing buttons to jar
  • Use the round sponge applicator the paint color Cotton ball to create polka dots on the Minnie jar. Tap sponge gently in the paint until full and then carefully pounce and twist to create random polka dots. Set aside to dry.


    painting on polka dots
  • Measure and cut a 24” (60cm) length of yellow ribbon to attach around the neck of the Mickey jar and then tie in a bow.
  • Measure and cut a 12” (30cm) length of red and white polka dot ribbon, tie in a bow and then attach to Minnie jar lid with a glue gun. Trim ends of both ribbons with scissors.


    adding bows
  • Your Minnie & Mickey Mouse Mason Jars are done! I told you they were cute!
