Ultra Metallic Vinyl

Website

You will need:

Ultra Metallic Vinyl:  Gold #127, Red 129, Blue 130

Electronic Die-cut Machine

Paper Trimmer

Re-cycled Jars:  I used large pickle and peppercini jars with smooth sides

Washi Tape:  Red & white chevron 

Jute 3 ply string

scissors

Directions:

For cutting stripes:  Use the paper trimmer to cut strips of vinyl.  

For cutting shapes:  Use the electronic die cut machine for the stars.

Stripes on jar:  Cut 1" wide strips of vinyl in the length you will need for the jar.  Leave room above each stripe to adhere a 1-1/4" gold star.  Cut some longer 1/4" wide strips of the red vinyl and adhere one between each wider red stripe as shown.  Cut 1/4" stripes from the gold and adhere a piece to the center of each wide red stripe as shown in the photo given.  

Stars:  Cut 1-1/2" stars from the gold vinyl.  Adhere a star to the jar above each wide red stripe.

Finish:  Adhere washi tape around the neck of the jar.  Tie a piece of jute string below the tape and finish with a shoestring bow.

For the horizontal stripes:  Cut 3/4" x 12" strips using the paper trimmer.  Apply horizontally to the jar has shown; matching up the ends.  Cut 1-1/2" gold stars and apply around the jar between the horizontal stripes.

Finish with washi tape and jute as directed with the striped jar.

Cut 1" gold stars.  Adhere to the entire jar.  Finish with washi tape and jute string as for the striped jar.

**The "heart" USA is an acrylic block that I cut and applied vinyl to.  The vinyl works well on smooth flat surfaces.

I used my jars to decorate for a 4th of July celebration though I would use these all Summer long!

They will serve as decorative containers to hold napkins, silverware, straws, etc.  I would use this idea for other celebrations too.  Weddings, birthdays, holidays, etc.!  Whatever your mind can conceive and perceive, it can achieve!  That is a favorite saying of mine that came from Mary Kay Ash.

Thank you for stopping by.  Make sure to take time to enjoy the small blessings along the way and;

Live Life with a Flourish!
