Stenciling glass is a lot of fun and makes a stunning product! However, it can be hard to get it just right, especially if you’re stenciling something that is not a flat surface. In this step-by-step video, I will show you how to stencil mason jars so that they always come out great!

Extra tip: If you have a low-tack spray adhesive, use it to make the back of the stencil sticky. This way, you won’t have to worry about holding down the stencil, making it a lot easier to stencil the glass.

Watch the video, try it at home and show us what you make! Remember to us a dry brush technique and to paint with an up and down motion!

 



We’re really excited to share with you our 10 video series with Ulive! These step by step videos walk you through some of our favorite projects. From a beautiful shadow box to an awesome set of mason jars you are sure to find something you will have fun making!  Here are a few screen grabs of the videos, currently for view on Ulive.
