What inspired me to do these Oui Yogurt Decorative Jars?

These jars are so cute. I didn't realize how adorable they were until my husband started buying them, and we could get them in bulk at the wholesale store.

What supplies did I use to make these Oui Yogurt Decorative Jars?

Feel free to gather all these supplies and tools to help you make your very own decorative jars.

Supplies used:

  • 12 - 4 oz Oui Yogurt jars
  • Cardinal Red Acrylic paint
  • White Acrylic paint
  • Sponge brushes and regular craft paintbrushes
  • 12 - Oui Yogurt Lids (Lids for Oui Yogurt The Adorable Oui Jars) - purchased on Amazon (affiliate).
  • Cricut machine
  • Cricut Stencil vinyl
  • Cricut pad
  • FolkArt Satin Varnish 49907 - durable and non-yellowing sealer

Cleaning the Oui Yogurt jars:

  • Orange Goop
  • Copper Chore Boy Scrubber
  • Dawn soap
  • Superfine sandpaper

But first, let me show you what the jar looked like before I transformed it.

Before Oui Jar

How much did it cost to make these Oui Yogurt Decorative Jars?

This project cost me about $5.00 per jar, including the bought lids, and I made 12 of them, so it was $36.00.

How long did it take to make these Oui Yogurt Decorative Jars?

This project took me about three days to make. The majority of it was drying time for the acyclic paint.

How did I make these Oui Yogurt Decorative Jars?

Clean the Oui Yogurt Jars

First, I cleaned the jars after removing the labels. There was a little residue on them, so I used some Orange Goop and a copper sponge with dish soap and cleaned them up pretty well. The copper scrubber didn't scratch up the glass. I did find that there was a little residue on the top from the cover. So, to remove that, I used super fine sandpaper and took off a little bit. It did scratch it a little but not enough that it was noticeable.

Cut out the Stencil with the Cricut Machine

Then, I picked a pattern for my Cricut Design Space. I chose "Flower Peace Sign (#M4829AA62)" by Wispy Willow Designs. Then, cut it out on my Cricut maker. I used the Cricut Stencil Vinyl (Affiliate). Then, I weeded the excess amount and placed them in the clean jars.

Painted the jars with Acrylic red paint.

With a sponge brush, I lightly added the red paint over the stencil, let it dry for a few hours, and applied another coat. I continued and painted all my 12 jars. Then, let them dry for 24 hours. I left the stencil on the glass while drying.

Next, I painted streaks of white acrylic paint over the red-dried paint. I continued around the jar and made white stripes over the red.

Then, remove the stencil vinyl. I let the jars dry for 24 hours.

Add the Satin Varnish.

To protect the acrylic paint from chipping off the glass, I added FolkArt Satin Varnish. 49907 - durable and non-yellowing sealer with a paintbrush. Then, I let it dry completely—another 24 hours.

How can I use these old Oui Jars?

There are several things you can do to repurpose these Oui Jars. Below are some I found helpful.

**AD**Make it yours with reCap mason jar lids.
  • Use them for party favor gifts - I used these 12 for my daughter's graduation and added thanks for coming label to the lid top.
  • Store spices in them. - The sealed lid keeps the herbs and spices fresh longer.
  • Use them for kids' snacks. - Add some stacks for kids and place them in the kitchen for after-school munchies.
  • Add some baby succulents - Add some dirt to them and add your baby succulents from your other mature plants.
  • Bath salts gifts - Add a variety of scented bath salts and give them to others as gifts.

Tips on making this Oui Yogurt Decorative Jars

Below are some tips if you do decide to make these Oui Yogurt Decorative jars.

  1. Clear the jars really well - To paint smooth on the jar, all the label glue must be removed from the side.
  2. Make sure you do the seal after the paint is dry - If it is not dry, it will smear the acrylic paint and will cover the area where your stencil was placed.

I hope this DIY project inspires you to repurpose these Oui Jars. I'm planning on doing them again in the near future for other party events.
