Christmas In July

Hello everyone,
Leanne here with you today.
I have created a Snow lady / now decorative button jar.

A recycled plastic jar was used as the base for my project.
The base has been painted with chalk paint,
and fine glitter was sprinkled over the wet paint.
Allow to dry.
When dry, spray with Crystal Kote Matte Varnish as shown.
The varnish helps to seal and protect the glittery surface.

Next glue two styrene balls together using Tiger Grip Glue.
Then mix equal parts of gesso and Craft & Hobby PVA Glue together.
