Silhouette Studio Designer Edition Video Tutorial

I have been wanting to create this video for you guys since DECEMBER! Man-o-Man does time fly. We're knocking on the door of good ole' Saint Patricks Day and I'm finally getting around to it. Remember my post around Christmas time about my Winter White Wreath along with the cute Rudolph Silhouette sign? Let me refresh your memory…

Rudolph-Sign

I actually converted that image from a PNG file from Rhonna Designs that looks like this…

They look pretty different, right? Now, I know we aren't looking to recreate Rudolph right now, but this is actually a good image to show you what the software is capable of. You can select any PNG and the same techniques will apply. Here's a video on how to convert a PNG file into an image that you can use with your Silhouette products.

How cool is that? I'm totally digging this video tutorial stuff. I think I am going to work on more of those for you guys.

Polka Dot Jars

Polka Dot Jars // If you have followed WhipperBerry for any time at all, you know I love my jars. I love to bake with jars, decorate with jars, organize with jars… you name it, I ADORE jars.  This week I found another fun, yet simple way to dress up my jars with DecoArt Glass Paint …

Isn’t this a fun way to dress up your jars for an event? It couldn’t be simpler with DecoArts Glass Paint 3D Frost Gloss Enamels…

Deco Art Glass Paint

DecoArt sent me a bunch of their glass paint to take for a spin. I was madly getting ready for my last minute trip to Hawaii, so I didn’t have a ton of time to create a painted masterpiece.  I did however have just enough time to dress up a jar and then I had a thought… This would be so fun for a birthday party or shower, basically any type of event where you would like to add a little playful fun element to the party. The nice part it hardly takes any time at all to create these fun polka dot jars.

Supply List

Instructions

  1. Make sure your jars are clean inside and out. Wipe down the outside of the jar with alcohol to prepare it for the paint.
  2. Select your 3D Frosted Gloss Enamel color and using the handy tip just start placing dots at the tip of every diamond on the quilted glass jar.
  3. Let dry completely, this takes a few hours or best over night.
  4. Fill with your party beverage, screw on the lid and top it off with the fancy straw. 
  5. Line up your jars on a table or tray and your guests will be amazed!!

How easy is that!! Seriously, you could get a whole parties worth of jars painted in no time at all.  Give it a go and let me know what you think!

If you are looking for more glass painting projects, DecoArt has created a fabulous site for their Glass Painting Program that you should check out.  It has all kinds of project ideas, product information and videos!!
