Let's go over the followed that you must follow to do each of the ideas, in this way you will not forget anything about anything and you can do it yourself easily. Also, I show you some photos of the results final.

Marble organizers

To do the resources for organizers with marbled effect you just have to put in a water container a bit of enamel of nails of different shades. Remove the colors slowly to create patterns and shapes, and when you are comfortable with the design you have created, introduce the outside of the boat in water. In this way, the enamel will stick to the glass with the design you have made, creating the marbled effect.

Vase with decoupage

The technique decoupage consists of pasting a special paper for this technique or a napkin on a surface to make it look like it is painted. In this case we are going to make the glass jar, so remove the white capes of the napkin, you only have to work with the layer where the drawing is. Apply the adhesive to decoupage with a brush all over the boat, and then stick the napkin on it carefully so that it does not break. Cut off the leftover napkin. To the edge of the boat you can pass a fine grit sandpaper and it will be removed more easily. Lastly, apply another coat of decoupage adhesive to seal everything perfectly.

Garland of lanterns

This wreath looks great on terraces y grounds. You must paint the inside of the glass jar with stained glass painting, and to make it easier you simply have to pour a little paint inside and spread it around the pot by moving it. Leave it alone drain over a container and hold it with two toothpicks so that the paint falls off. When the paint is dry, surround the rim of the pot with a wire and create with it the handle of the lantern. Make a few to run through one rope and be able to hang them on the wall.

Retro pencils

Paint chalky always gives one more effect Retro y vintage to objects, so we are going to use it in this tutorial. Plus, it adheres to glass pretty well, so it's perfect for this craft. Brush it all over the outside of the pot and let it dry. To add more details we have two options. In one of the boats you can paint the edge with metallic paint in gold tone, and in the other you can make a jute rope loop. In both cans, gently swipe a fine grit sandpaper, and this way you will wear down the paint a bit.

Forest Soap Holder

This last idea will make your bath is more elegant, thanks to the tone golden from the top of the can. Make a hole with the help of a screwdriver and a hammer, large enough to pass the soap dispenser. To this you must apply silicone in gun and fix it to the lid of the can. Now all you have to do is fill the bottle with soap and put the lid on it.
