In the video, Carolina first cleans the surface of a Passata sauce bottle with a wet paper towel to remove any stickers and tape codes.
Using a brush, I painted two layers over the jar Make sure you don’t see the glass.
To make the jar look like it’s made of ceramic, she pre-mixed baking soda in a bowl of paint.
The abrasive texture of the baking soda will create a rough surface on the jar rather than a smooth surface.
Those on a budget might want to consider purchasing miniature paint pots from Bunnings to decorate multiple vases in different colors.
Once the paint has dried, Karolina wrap the strands around the glass jar.
