Thanks a bunch! I sprayed the caps with simple varnish in a
tin can. The best result for the dots you
get, if you use nail or screw heads. Dab it
in a speckle of the white varnish and then
onto the cap, don´t press, just dab. Use
different nail/screw sizes. enjoy!!!
Simple varnish? You mean like spray paint?
Do you still put food in the jars or just
crafty things? Love, love, LOVE these! I have
white marmalade jars that would look so cute
with red and white polka dots. Very excited
to try this.
Spray varnish, of course... sometimes I use
also a base varnish or I have to spray two
ore three sheets. It depends on the idividual
lit. I use them only for dry food: nuts, raisins,
jelly beans... There is a silicon ring inside
the lit to close it tight. This silicon
"suffers" because of the spray
varnish. It becomes a little bit sticky after
a while and I think it will not close tight
anymore. Marmelade is hot if you fill it in
and the lit has to be absolutly close. I
never tryed it, but I think it is not a good
idea for marmelade. If you use simple varnish with a paint brush,
maby you will not have that silicon-problem. XOXO Kerstin
