Trick or Treat Mason Jar Lantern by Emma

Hello crafty friends!  Emma here to wish you all a happy Fall!  Of course it is sad to say goodbye to Summer, but Fall is definitely my favourite season.

Today I'd like to share an easy project you can make with an empty Mason jar, and a few supplies from the SRM Store.

 

 Here, in addition to my Mason jar, I have some black vinyl, orange jute twine, black and orange striped paper bags, orange scalloped circle, burlap ribbon, ink spray and a battery operated votive candle.

 First, I sprayed the inside of my empty jar with some purple alcohol ink.  You could also use other colours, or leave the glass clear if you like.  I set the ink using a heat gun, and I love the gnarly look it takes on.

 Using the SRM black vinyl, I cut the phrase 'Trick or Treat' using my Silhouette Cameo, and adhered it to the jar.  I advise using transfer tape with vinyl lettering when applying to other surfaces; it saves a lot of time and heartache!

Next, I used the orange striped paper bag to decorate the top of the lid.  The black striped bag was used on the side of the lid, and I then added the orange twine wrapped around several times.

 After placing an orange scalloped paper circle in the bottom of the jar, I then put in the battery powered votive candle.  A Fall leaf from an old wreath sets off the lantern perfectly.

 So there you have a finished lantern all ready to use in your Halloween decorations!  You could easily make several with different phrases or other colours on the glass.

Thanks so much for joining me today, and happy crafting!

Pineapple Mason Jars with Patterned Vinyl by Juliana

Hello everyone and Happy Summer! It's Juliana with you today and I'm sharing a set of Pineapple Mason Jar Drinking Glasses that I created using the fabulous SRM Stickers Patterned Vinyl. I love to dress up simple mason jars with vinyl and I thought it would be fun to give them a bit of a summer vibe with a pineapple shape I cut out using my Silhouette Cameo. I used the Yellow and Green Polka Dot Patterned Vinyl.

If you'd like to create your own set of Pineapple Mason Jar Drinking Glasses you can download the Pineapple Digital Cut File for free.

I sized the image to 3 inches in height and then cut the pieces from the various colors of vinyl. I then used transfer tape to help me place the images onto the jars. I then dressed up each jar with a bit of jute and fun paper straw.

I filled them with fresh lemonade, but there are so many great summertime drinks that would be fabulous served in these at your next get together!

Thanks for stopping by today!

HUGS!

Spring Gardening Mason Jar by Juliana

Hello all! Juliana here with you today to share a spring themed project using the new SRM Stickers Patterned Vinyl. I used three of the new colors to create a trio of Spring Gardening Mason Jar Gifts. These would make a perfect gift for Mother's Day and they are really quite easy to create.

Using my Silhouette Cameo, I cut a butterfly from each of the different vinyl colors and then adhered it to the front of the jar. 

Next, I tied a small metal garden charm to the top of the jar using a piece of burlap ribbon.

To attach the silk flower to the lid, I carefully poked a hole in the top of the lid.  I then cut off the stem, leaving about a 1/2 inch and stuck the flower into the hole.

To add to the gift, I filled each jar with several packets of seeds in a variety of flowers and herbs.

And here are closeups of the 3 different jar I created.  

I think this would make a fabulous Mother's Day gift and it would certainly be perfect for all the gardeners out there!

Halloween Mason Jars & Coasters by Juliana

Hello SRM Friends! It's Juliana here today and anyone who knows me, knows how much I love Halloween. I especially love to decorate for Halloween and this year I'm getting ready for our annual Halloween Costume party. As part of this years decorations, I thought it would be fun to dress up some mason jars and coasters with the fantastic SRM Stickers Vinyl and Patterned Vinyl!

I started with a set of coaster that I found at my local craft store. I began by painting the edges of each coaster black. Once the paint was dry, I cut a piece of the Patterned Vinyl in either Black Stripes or Black Chevron to just slightly larger than the size of each coaster. I then removed the backing paper, adhered the vinyl to the coaster and then trimmed away the excess vinyl.

To further decorate each coaster,  I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut out some Halloween images that I designed from the SRM Matte Black Vinyl and adhered them to the center of each coaster.

I used these same Halloween images to decorate the mason jars.

For those of you are interested in making your own set of Halloween coasters or mason jars, I'm sharing the Halloween Icons digital cut file with you. Feel free to download it and create your own Halloween Decorations using SRM Stickers awesome vinyl!

Thanks so much for stopping by today and we can't wait to see how you use SRM Stickers Vinyl to decorate your house for Halloween this year!
