You will need;
- Acrylic paint. I suggest gloss finish.
- Mini corked glass jars (I got mine at Michaels)
- A paint brush
- Orange foam
- White foam
Here's a close up on my paint-I'm using Apple Barrel Gloss Finish in Dandelion Yellow.
Pour your paint out. I didn't have a palette, so I used a plastic lid. Only start with a little, because it dries quickly, and you don't want to waste any!
Next, paint your jar! Try to make all your strokes go in one direction. I got best results with a horizontal stroke.
While your jar dries, paint your cork. You could do it in a different color, but I left mine matching.
Also cut out two little white circles, for the eyes.
Use a pen to add detail to them.
By now, your jar should be dry, so use a little glue to attach it to the jar.
Then do the same thing for the eyes.
Congratulations! You're done! Adi and Emily had so much fun with this. I tied colored yarn around the necks of the jars to give them character. (AREN'T THEY SOOO CUTE?? EEEE!)
P.S. Anna posted some really fun crafts at her blog, From A Doll's Perspective, so I suggest you hop your little rabbit tail over there!
These are ADOLLABLE!
