Secrets to help you create the perfect craft
It’s not enough just to know how to make “space” in jars. We advise you to familiarize yourself with a selection of tips, without which you will not be able to create something ideal and perfect.
If you decide to use caps made of cork material, you need to take care that they do not crumble during the operation of the craft. To do this, cover them with a small layer of rubber glue and allow to dry thoroughly.
If you are thinking about creating interior decoration from a large glass container, then you should not completely fill it with glycerin - this is fraught with consequences. When heated, a full can can simply burst due to lack of air. Or a loose cap will break out and the contents will leak out.
In the case of the formation of a pendant, the lid must be securely attached to a small vessel, otherwise you may get dirty if it falls out.
To make the “stars” look livelier, more natural and do not stick to the walls of the glass container, first sprinkle dry sparkles on paper, soak cotton wool with water and roll it in the decor.
Do not drip food coloring directly into the jar, first color the cotton wool, and only then attach it to the composition. It is not necessary to go in cycles in one color when there are so many various tones around. But do not forget that for each shade of fleece should be individual.
