Glass Stickers

Here are the pretty glass stickers I showed you on

my last post and promised to show you how to 

make them.

The glass jars were purchased at the Dollar Tree

They have so many to choose from, and it makes it affordable

and a lot of fun to choose the different glass holders

Now to get started

Please use the products I am showing you 

for the best results.  This is tried and true and if

you divert to save money say on a cheaper packaging tape

the process with not work.

So here goes....

purchase a roll of Gorilla packaging tape, this type is

commercial type grade and very thick, just what you 

need for this project.

I bought mine at my local hardware store for $5.99

Then choose any images that you can print out

These can be found on many sites.

I would suggest looking on Pinterest for free printable images

Once you find what you like, print them from your home

computer. 

This next step is very important .....

Now, your home computer is most likely a ink-jet printer

Ink jet printers are printers that require a refill ink cartridges

Then there are laser jet printers that require toners.

You need to use a laser print printer for this project

If you do not have one not to worry, here is what you

will do.

Take the printed out image you printed at home to your local

printer (they use laser jet printers) and have them print

what you printed onto copy paper (not cardstock paper)

using their laser jet printer (cost is 6 cents a sheet)

This photo below are the images I had copied

I am sure you are wondering why printing the images 

on a laser jet is important

See this photo below?

The top image is with laser jet, the one on the bottom is ink jet

You just don't get the clarity or depth of the image with a ink jet

Now moving on......

Once your images are printed, using your Gorilla tape

tape right over the TOP of the image you like and then cut it out

I simply cut a square around my images as you can see below

Next step is to use a bowl of some sort and fill it with hot

water, put your images in the water for at least 7 mins

Take them out one at a time and under running water, 

start to rub away all of the paper off the back of the

image.  Keep rubbing til you get it all off.

You can see below how I start to rub it off, it

comes off quite easy you will be surprised

Once it is all rubbed off, put them on a paper towel to dry

sticky side facing up.  

Once they are dry it is truly surprising how they become 

completely sticky again!  

If you find when they are dry that maybe you missed a little

paper on the sticker you can easily go back to the sink and

under the running water start rubbing away what you might have

missed and let the piece dry again.  

Now that they are dry, this is where the magic begins!

Take your glass object and press your sticker onto the

glass!  You might want to get quite a few glass pieces as

these becomes quite addictive to make!

You will love the results! 

Have fun trying this diy!

Also note:  they can also be adhered to wood and metal

Now I really opened your door of possibilities!!!
