safetysue Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 How to get jars like this? Whatever the process is the coating does not come off. I'd like to do something similar to the paw prints jar with my logo on the jar. Any help would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chefmom Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 If I were to take a flying guess I would say it looks like exterior sand art. Kind of like they schmeared modge podge all over the outside and coated the outside of the jar in sand, herbs, and something else.If you wanted just the paw print, you could get a stencil and use the goop that etches glass. I've seen Martha Stewart do glass etching on her show, some years back, but I'm sure you could look online for chemical glass etching.

bells4shells Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 It almost looks like the paw prints were painted on and then it was dipped in some type of sanding coating. The texturing is really neat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
safetysue Posted October 1, 2012 Author Share Posted October 1, 2012 I should add that they remind me of the coating on religious candle jars. The stuff don't come off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharon in KY Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 I just want to say the are so cute. Can't tell what the 3rd one is or how they got such cute paw prints. The 2nd one looks like glue was painted on the jar then rolled in seeds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
