Not Bell or Knorr, but mason jars none the less, Atlas Mason to be exact.

Use a few long, straight, brush strokes while covering your jar in paint, instead of lots of short/small brush strokes. This will cut down on the visible brush strokes. <br /><br />I've never had any issues with bubbling, but maybe the watered down paint will also help here.<br /><br />Good luck!Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13040156793081625893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8593157745415661839.post-91732895847101708002011-08-19T08:59:16.486-04:002011-08-19T08:59:16.486-04:00I tried this - and while I thought I followed exac...I tried this - and while I thought I followed exactly, all of my jars came out bad. I used the fan brush and I have a lot of visible brush strokes. Also, the paint bubbled a little when I was applying it to the jar. Is there any hint to help? How much thinner did you add to the turquoise color? I love this idea and I need to do a number of jars for a bridal shower however I can't get mine to come out decent.

Just a quick question, well 2 actually... I can put any kind of jar in the oven? Cause I'm a little afraid it could blow in to a million pieces, is that really safe? Once you baked them you can cleam under water, I mean, the paint will resist if I hand wash with water and soap? <br />Anyway, thanks again for sharing<br />and warm regards all the way from Brasil<br /><br />Gilian<br /><br />(English, as you can clearly notice is not my mother language, so please forgive me my awfull grammar mistakes.)Gílian Demori Lopeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09336701194865188732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8593157745415661839.post-52227318844341968992011-05-30T19:10:22.191-04:002011-05-30T19:10:22.191-04:00LOVE the idea, I am not a very crafty person so I ...LOVE the idea, I am not a very crafty person so I hope that these turn out.
