Step-by-step

Step 1

Wash and dry the jar. For your design you’ll need the edding 751 gloss paint marker in white or a colour of your choice. First, you need to activate your marker: shake the marker vigorously with the cap still on before removing the cap. Next, prime the marker by pressing the nib up and down a few times on a piece of absorbent paper until ink appears in the nib. You can now get started. If you make a template, you’ll find it incredibly easy to decorate your glass jar. Simply place the template inside the jar and lightly fix in place. If you do this, you’ll find it very easy to copy the inscription onto the jar.
