DIY Treat Jar using etchall® etching creme

 

I am always looking for fun ways to give treats to friends and family. I especially love packaging that the recipient can use again for something else. Mason Jars are one of my favorites! You can easily transform a simple mason jar into something special using etchall® etching Creme.

Have you seen these little tiny Ball jars? Oh, they are so cute! I saw some in the local hardware store and HAD to have them!! When the hubs asked why I needed them my response was "because they are so cute!".  They are 4oz so they are perfect for so many things- candy is what I am going with!

I started by applying a silkscreen stencil; this one is from Martha Stewart. I love that they are sticky and re-usable. Win-win! I applied the stencil where I wanted it and then used masking tape to cover the visible portion of the front of the jar. I am a messy crafter and I would for sure get etching creme where I didn't want it without  using the tape! 

Apply a thick coat of etchall® etching creme and allow it to sit for at least 15 minutes. When the time is up, remove the creme and put it back in the jar. Etchall® etching creme is reusable!  Rinse well in cold running water and then dry. 

You will get a beautiful image that is permanent! How cute is this! 

Have you ever tried Tombow Xtreme putty? This stuff is pretty cool! It holds pretty much everything and it is removable. I used it to add some cute flowers to the lid of the jar, but they can still be easily removed later if needed.

I decided to fill this one with jelly beans - the person who will be getting this LOVES jelly beans!
