Chilly January Word :FROST:

My best friend and maid of honor's birthday is in February, so I thought I would make her something special this month. Since she's getting married in July, I was sure to incorporate her new monogram. Sorry, Jen, I'm blowing the birthday surprise - but you can wait with anticipation to get your present in the mail.

Materials: Unique Glass Jar, Frost Spray Paint, Letter Decals, Tape, and a Decorative Ribbon



This project was more difficult than I anticipated. But the workaround was equally as fun! Originally, I wanted to place the letters with tape and spray the frost, but most of the frost ended up uneven around the letters and even ended up under them. Not the sleek effect I was going for.



As a workaround, I ended up hand painting the letters in my original design after taping off the glass again and spraying with frost. I let the glass sit for 25 minutes between sprays, and a few hours to let it set before handling.

And below is the final product! I hope you love it, Jen, my sister and I thought this would be a cute container for bath salts or cotton balls. Happy Birthday!
