Glitter Jar

I noticed that there has been a lot of tutorials on glitter jars, so looking around I found a small glass jar and decided to do a tutorial too!  Normally you can find a jar around your house, and since it probably contained some food at one point it will have a label on it.  I've always had a hard time trying to get labels off jars, but I found a fairly easy way to completely remove the label!

First fill the jar with the hottest water that you can get, but if your jar is cold because it might have been outside, wait until it warms up a bit before you put steaming hot water into the jar, otherwise it will break. After you have left the water in the jar for about ten minutes, try and peel off the label, while this won't completely remove the label it helps the adhesive turn into a liquid. After this, to get rid of the rest of the label take a paper towel or cotton ball, put some nail polish remover on it and rub off the rest of the label, it should come off pretty fast! If this method still doesn't work, heat your glass jar in a microwave for about thirty seconds, then pull out the jar with a hot pad and wipe the adhesive off with a paper towel, guaranteed to work!
For glue I used a cheap brand called Mod Podge, found at Walmart, and gold sparkles that were also found at Walmart.  In your jar pour in two parts glitter, one part glue, there aren't any specific measurements, just eyeball it and add more if when you turn your jar upside down (a couple steps later) the glue and glitter mix doesn't reach the top of the jar.  Adding more is very easy, just make sure that when you do, you still have the two to one glitter to glue ratio and you still mix it up until the sparkles aren't so sparkly any more that they have been smothered in glue.
After mixing together your glue and glitter, turn your jar upside down allowing the mix to run all over the inside of the jar, make sure you put your bottle over a plastic plate and lift it up every once and a while so it doesn't stick. Wait twenty four to forty eight hours for your jar to dry.
When you are done turn your jar upside down over a trash bin and shake it a little bit, allowing loose bits of sparkles to fall out before you place objects inside your jar. You may have a couple "bald spots" on your jar where the glue did not reach, if that occurs you can dab a little glue inside the jar on the bald spot and put sparkle in the jar once more, shaking them to make sure they reach the glue. After this you will have to wait another twenty for hours insuring that the glue has dried. Now that your jar is finished you can give it to someone as a gift (since Christmas is right around the corner), or use it your self as a pencil holder, or a makeup brush holder.
Happy Holidays!
