Pinterest Thursday - Monsters Jars

It's time for another Pinterest Project.  I found this project here.  So we went to town with our tissue paper & mason jars. 

I had hot pink & blue paper so well that would work Lolly loves pink & Tater loves blue really I could not go wrong here. 

Supplies:
Any jars
tissue paper
modge podge (MP)
black sharpie

So paint your MP on to your jar just a thin coat really - also don't do what I did...I stuck my hand in the jar and painted the whole thing with the MP - well you really need 2 hands to lay the tissue paper on to the jar to make a flat surface. Not funny at the time now very funny.

Once you have a good coat then lay your tissue paper onto the jar.  Again don't follow my foot steps and try to move the tissue paper around ... it tears..where you place it is where you place it.  Which is fine you can go back and add more paper.  I ripped the blue paper I can not tell you how many times because I was all I can do this and would try to move it - DON'T move it.  I pre-did this part for my kids.  While Caden is old enough to do this (8) he doesn't like it when his hands get sticky and it throws him into a tail spin so I just did all this ahead of time. 

Then cover the bottom and the lip of the jar.

Once you have the jar covered in the tissue paper do one more coat of the MP all over the jar just to be safe.  

I gave my jars like 3 days to dry it was a very humid week here.  As you can see I have notime to wait I want to go, go, go and was having to come up with ways to get them to dry....

Get your sharpie in hand a paint on your faces. The kids got to pick their faces & got to color them on all by them selves. 

It was a fun project and both kids loved it so a huge success!!!



Oh Pinterest - What a place to spend H O U R S & hours

I like most women in the US am on Pinterest - I love it.  I spend many an hour on there finding all sorts of goodies.  I have made a few things too.  Which is the point right. 
BUT
and I have to be honest here - dude if you pin something link it to where you found it not the just the picture.  Drives me nuts to find something super cute and then it's just the image really now I have to go to google and search it out - I'm lazy so yeah I don't google. I just whine to the dogs - why oh why only link to the photo.  Then also don't get me started on the websites that you really can't pin from - why block - I hate the no large images found here error - I get that a lot.  I'm not a fan of that error not at all.  Makes me twitchy. 

AND

label your pin with what the photo actual is I need a description just 'oh cute' doesn't cut it for me.  Yeah I can make my own opinions I wanna know what it is you don't have to get all wordy but just a few words plus when I decide at 4am to do some searching on Pinterest because the Lolly got up for the 5th time and my mind is running when I search I wanna be able to find your cute find.  If it is a photo of food tell me what it is so I don't have to click the links.  I wanna know I want quick easy information.  Yeah I'm a dork like that. 

Ok rant over but really I have much love for Pinterest.  Find me here
