Tissue Paper Stained Glass Jars

Happy Sunday, friends!  I’m back today with another fabulous craft that kids of all ages will enjoy making with mason jars.  Those mason jars are so much fun to craft with and these tissue paper stained glass jars fit the bill.

Tell me that sweet jar doesn’t make you smile?  I imagine a kiddo giving wild flowers to mom or grandma.  I think it would truly brighten their day.  The good news is they are incredibly easy to make and using any tissue paper you’d like from prints, solids to polka dots makes them uniquely you!  Let’s grab a few supplies.

Supplies needed to make your own tissue paper stained glass jars:

• Mason Jars
• Tissue Paper – Assorted Colors
• Mod Podge
• Foam Sponge Brush

Are you ready to do some mason jar crafting?  Me too!  First things first, let’s prepare the tissue paper. Cut into squares, strips, or tear into different sized pieces.  I cheated and used pre-cut tissue paper {wink}.

Step One:  Apply Mod Podge to jar in small sections.

Step Two:  Apply pieces of tissue paper to the area where you applied the Mod Podge.  Apply one piece at a time.

Step Three:  Continue to apply Mod Podge and tissue paper, layering as necessary.  Don’t worry about wrinkles, that adds a little character.

Step Four:  Once your tissue paper stained glass jar is covered, allow to dry and apply a second coat of Mod Podge over the entire surface.  Allow to dry (again) and it’s ready for use.

I did one tissue paper stained glass jar with squares (front jar) and one with torn pieces (in the background).  

Both cute and colorful.  Use for flowers, storage or gifting!  Aren’t they fabulous?  Happy crafting!
