I hope you've enjoyed this Impromptu Gingerbread Week! This is the last project for that, since my weekly link party will go up this evening. I have a feeling it's not my last Gingerbread project for the season, though!
This was a simple project that started with a "steal deal" find at a JoAnn (RIP) going out of business sale (still angry about that!). You might find similar this season at other craft stores, or thrift shops. It doesn't have a suction closure that cookie jars come with so I won't use it for that, but it will be perfect for storing utensils and things for my hot cocoa bar!
Supplies:
- House Themed Jar
- Acrylic Paint (Nutmeg)
- Paint Pen
- Puffy Paint
- Embellishments
This one was an unfinished ceramic surface. I almost left it white, but then I got on this Gingerbread kick! I got it for 80% off, so it was a no-brainer impulse buy. Better than thrifting even.
I painted the lid and the main body with Apple Barrel Nutmeg Brown acrylic paint. I wasn't going for opaque coverage since real gingerbread has variegations.
I used a white paint pen on the windows and raised details. The surface wasn't completely even so the painting isn't meticulous but it work with the vintage look and frost isn't perfect anyway.
