I love this, what a beautiful jar! I have several old jars waiting for something like this to be done to them! The Birds & Cherries napkin was a perfect choice! I was searching for a good tutorial and I found a great one! Thank you for sharing!

Thank you so much Sylene. I really appreciate your positive feedback. I no longer have my store but I thought I'd leave the videos up in case they are useful to other crafters. I do hope you'll give it a go on your old jars. All the best, Suzy.

Great first video, this turned out so great! Where do get the Spray Easy? Thank you for sharing your awesome talent!!

[@suzyscrafts]

Hi and thank you. The spray varnish is available at hardware stores. Here in NZ I get it from Bunnings. Whatever brand you use just make sure it is water based, as oil based varnish will turn yellow over time.

where do you get your beautiful napkins...

[@suzyscrafts]

I used to sell them myself but as I don't anymore there is a great company called Whimmel which ships worldwide. They have a huge selection.

[@susanw7765]

@@suzyscrafts, I tried googling Whimmel with no success, would you happen to have their website or other information to look them up? Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance.

[@suzyscrafts]

@@susanw7765 hi! So sorry I think I spelt it wrong. Try searching Wimmel Napkins. I have this Web address but I don't know if it is correct. www.napkins.nz/

[@wyldegirl143]

Is it waterproof and washable

[@suzyscrafts]

Inside is waterproof as it is glass. I recommend wiping the outside with a damp cloth if it gets dirty for some reason.

[@Sasha1225DK]

Can I use the homemade mod podge as a sealer? 😊

[@suzyscrafts]

It will seal your work with a few coats but I wouldn't recommend it for anything that may get wet or if you sell your work. I prefer to go over things with varnish.

[@micheledepaepe8693]

it is beautiful thank you ,but i do not understand why jou sandpaper the text ,if you put the napkin on top anyway ,

[@suzyscrafts]

Hi, thanks for watching. I didn't cover the text fully. Just a little bit. It's still visible. Maybe it doesn't show up well in the video, but does in reality.

[@zainebmasood4169]

Lovely work. I just CANT seem to avoid bubbles and creases. Depresses me. Help.

[@suzyscrafts]

Hi Zaineb, try using a little less glue. Creases are inevitable but if you don't over do the glue you can usually push them flat with your fingernail over the cling film. Or you could try pushing them flat with the back of a teaspoon. I hope this helps. Remember, it's homemade and imperfections are part of the beauty of homemade. 😊

[@zainebmasood4169]

Thank you Suzi. Do you glue the twine with mod podge or something else. Please do inform.

[@suzyscrafts]

@@zainebmasood4169 I used a hot glue gun to carefully secure the twine.🙂

[@pamelazandarski5868]

just wondering why you cleaned the writing off just to cover up ????

[@suzyscrafts]

Hi Pamela, I guess you can't really see in the video but the writing still shows through the napkins when you see it in person. Also, I like to clean it all off as I often don't decide on my final design until I'm sitting there tearing up the papers.

[@taleighshacinto33]

When I use my sponge dabber it leaves so many paint bubbles. I don't see anyone else having that problem. Idk why I do

[@suzyscrafts]

Sometimes it can happen. When it happens to me I go over the surface with a dry sponge dabber and that seems to smooth the bubbles out.

[@theresagosling1530]

Use a wet wipe, works much better than sandpaper.

[@suzyscrafts]

Do you mean to prepare the jar? A wet wipe won't help the paint adhere to the glass.
