I recently went foraging and one thing I noticed under some of the pine trees is a bunch of the little pine cone pieces, lying in piles under the tree, I grabbed some, because it is easier than cutting each piece off of the pine cone and they’re already dried, too. I have found some really interesting things under those trees. 😊

[@creartivebynature]

Oh, that's awesome!! I will have to have a closer look under trees next time I'm out!! Sure would make it so much easier for certain projects. Thanks for letting me know 😉 Take care 💖

[@cherylp.3347]

[@margaretdevries8090]

Great ideas, but so many different types, glue, paint, sealers! I could not keep track of ones used the most, she does a lovely job!

[@creartivebynature]

Yes, this is a compilation video that I put together of past videos. So it does seem to be a lot to take in. I broke down each video in this play list: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6jNY4hjZpx7jdE&pp=gAQBiAQB I also have time stamps for each project to make it easier to go back to the projects you like most, then you can see what I used for each project. I usually use hot glue, craft paint, tacky glue, silicone, E6000, decoupage glue, wood stain, sealant/varnish. There are other glues etc, but those are used the most. I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions!! Thanks for watching. 💖🤗🎄

Loved all your projects. If you’re looking for transparent colours for inside glass jars I use food colouring & white PVA (school) glue & it’s always worked for me. It’s not waterproof so if at the end of the season if you wish to use it for something else hot soapy water will take it off.

[@creartivebynature]

Oh ok, I didn't try food colouring. Great idea, thanks!! Did it leave streaks? I found that was happening with several techniques I tried. Thanks so much for watching and for your suggestion, I appreciate it. Take care 💖🤗

[@staciwilson1138]

They may have already said this- but just in case, your crop-a-dile should punch right through those tins like butter. Also, if you add alittle mod podge or mop and glow into your paint, it will thin it out and make it more transparent for your jelly jar. These were so inspiring and great ideas. I’ve got them saved in my favorites.

You can make that paint more translucent by adding gloss medium. It will start out looking white and opaque but when it dries it will do what you’re looking for.

[@creartivebynature]

Does it streak? I found a lot of mediums caused to paint to streak, it was getting frustrating!! Thanks so much for watching and for your suggestion. Take care 💖🤗

[@barbibarnum]

@creartivebynature I've had really good luck with it not streaking. Just make sure if your paint is glossy use glossy medium. If your paint is matte use matte medium.

[@paularezendes8199]

Glass paint or the paint you'd use on sun catchers would be great for the jam/jelly jar ornament. ❤

I just watched your video 10/9 5am. I enjoyed everything you made. I glass bottle you thought to be a wine bottle probably was. Years ago Log Cabin Syrup had a bottle something like it. I can't rememver exactly what it looked like but i think much taller & not was wide. U also mentioned being in Amish country, it is about 40-45 miles north of us. I think we have some of the most beautiful land in the USA. Of course each state has its own beauty. But as for me & mine we will stay in Ohio & love her til the end. I'm 78 & my husband is 80 & love it here. We have visted many of the other states & ohed & awed many things but always ready to come home. Just wanted to let you know, i agree with you. Love those tiny bells, might have to take a little road trip & get me some.❤😊

Hi Judy!! Yes, Ohio is so beautiful!! I want to go back. I'd love to visit some of the other states in the area as well.

To glaze the inside of your mason jar try adding just a drop of the color you want to use to mod modge then spreading/rolling it around your jar and let drip out.

Have an idea for you and the clip board. To keep it from moving around on, you put some glue dots on the back. They will hold it in place and come off easily. Rubbing alcohol or goo gone take off the glue from stickers. Love what you do! Thanks
