Before and after glass OUI jar

Upcycled Napkin Decoupage OUI Glass Yogurt Jar


Description

If you love those charming little glass Oui yogurt jars as much as I do, you know how hard it is to throw them away. They are the perfect size for storage, but plain glass doesn't always match your home decor (affiliate). With a beautiful decorative napkin (affiliate), some Satin Mod Podge (affiliate), and a little bit of sparkle, you can transform a simple grocery item into a gorgeous, high-end organizing container.


Materials

Clean glass yogurt jar (with a matching wooden or Oui bamboo lid bought on Amazon (affiliate))

Decorative paper napkin (affiliate) with a pattern you love - I bought this one at Sur La Table store.

Satin Mod Podge (affiliate)

Flat paintbrush (affiliate) or foam brush

Scissors (affiliate)

Self-adhesive rhinestone trim or gem strips (affiliate)

Small bowl or paper dish to hold your glue


Instructions

First, ensure your glass jar is completely clean and free of any sticky label (affiliate) residue. Unfold your decorative napkin (affiliate) to look at the pattern orientation. Place your jar on the napkin to gauge the height and width needed, then use your scissors (affiliate) to cut a strip of the napkin that wraps perfectly around the jar's circumference with a slight overlap.

Then, pour a small amount of Satin Mod Podge (affiliate) into a paper bowl. Using your paintbrush (affiliate), apply a thin, even coat of Mod Podge (affiliate) directly onto the exterior glass surface of the jar. You want enough glue to hold the napkin, but not so much that it puddles.

Now, gently wrap your cut napkin layer around the wet jar. Because napkin paper is incredibly thin, use a very light touch to smooth out any large (affiliate) air bubbles, working from the center outward. Small wrinkles are normal and will add a lovely, faux-ceramic textured look once dry!

Next, turn the jar upside down. Carefully fold the excess napkin edges over the jar's rim, pressing them flat against the base with your brush and a little extra Mod Podge (affiliate). Leave the very center of the bottom glass clear so the jar sits completely flat. Let this dry for about 15–20 minutes, then brush a final, protective top coat of Satin Mod Podge (affiliate) over the entire napkin to seal it.

While the jar is drying, grab your bamboo or wooden lid. Take your strip of colorful, self-adhesive rhinestones and carefully wrap it around the outer rim of the lid, pressing firmly to secure it. Trim off any excess rhinestone length.
