Supplies
Mason jars in various sizesI used the smooth sided version
Marbling medium
Frosted glass paintsapphire, turquoise, and Aegean sea
Craft sticks
Disposable cups
Cardboard
Black and white or color photos
Instructions
Mix the marbling medium with the frosted glass paint. I mixed it 2 parts marbling medium to 1 part paint. The instructions on the bottle say to mix 1 to 1 but I wanted a more transparent look to the jars so I used less paint.
Stir well inside of a disposable cup with a craft stick.
Then start dripping on your jars and turning them as you go. Drip all three colors on the jars randomly. Keep turning and allowing the paint to marble until the entire jar is covered.
You can also use the craft stick to help spread the paint to cover all areas.
Then turn the jar upside down on top of a disposable cup.
Repeat for all jars then allow to dry overnight.
Remove the dry jars from the cups and clean up the excess dried paint from the tops if needed.
