Christmas Craft Project - Snowman Cookie Jar
Materials: Glass jar suitable for cookies; paper for pattern; pencil; masking tape; tissue paper in assorted colors; Elmer’s Glue; paintbrush; Crystal Clear Krylon Spray. Directions: 1. Draw a snowman or any design of your choice on paper The pattern should be the actual size desired on the cookie jar. 2. Tape the pattern temporarily to the inside of the jar, with the design facing out. Tear or cut the tissue paper into fingernail-sized pieces. 3. In a cup, put three tablespoons of glue and one tablespoon of water. Mix thoroughly. With a brush, paint some of the solution on a small area on the outside of the glass jar, following the pattern design. 4. While the glue-painted area is still moist, place a few pieces of tissue on the moist area. Brush a little of the glue mixture over the tissue pieces. Repeat in another area, slightly overlapping the first area. When the design area is completely covered with tissue pieces, add details cut from tissue. 5. Give the completed design a thin brushed-on layer of the glue mixture. Allow to dry completely. When dry, give the entire outside of the jar a thin layer of Crystal Clear Krylon Spray. Let dry; repeat. Remove the taped pattern from inside the jar. Note: (You may also use ready made holiday stencils for this project and simply paint your design onto the jar). |
