Fall outdoor tablescape with Rit dye and Mod podge mason jar centerpiece

Hello there!Today I am sharing a Fall outdoor tablescape with Rit dye and Mod podge mason jar centerpiece.I have to say, I am in love with color and Rit dye has just about every color that appeals to me.So, today I am sharing some of my new techniques that you have seen in the past month or so. It is easy,and the end results are unique,and always one of a kind.In fact, I have found that no two are ever the same.So let’s get started on the basics.

Supplies needed:

Color of choice in Rit dye

Mod podge

sponge brushes

rubber gloves

Mason jars

any size of your liking.

I am going to first share the inside out technique

Paint the inside of your jar as shown with mod podge.

Just one light coat is all that is needed.

I really like sponge brushes as the mod podge goes on nice, smooth and even.

Next take about a cap full

and pour it in your mason jar

This would be for a smaller jar.

If you are using a taller one, use two capfuls.

The mod podge is not dry yet,

in fact you only have to wait about 10 minutes and you can pour your color in

Cap up your jar and shake vigorously making sure the jar is completely covered.

You can then disgard any remaining rit

turn jar upside down and let dry overnight.

THAT is the inside out technique.

NEXT…..

painting on the outside of a mason jar or any other glass surface.

Again, with your sponge brush lightly  the mod podge on the outside of your jar.

LET completely dry, this may take an hour or so.

Then take your color of choice

and paint on the outside of the jar with your sponge brush.

You can let drip down slightly if you like that look or continue to brush and soak up any drips with your sponge brush.

This is one coat of Rit dye on the outside. If you want it darker do two or three coats in between drying.

Let completely dry.

NOW, I used Matte Mod podge however you can use glossy if you would like.

After my jars dried completely

I lightly sprayed them with a satin polyurethane protector.

You can do that with the inside out technique as well.

Now how about we see how it all came together on a Fall tablescape.

Not sure If I mentioned Fall is my all time favorite time of year.

I look forward to the color change,

cooking in the crockpot, and the smell of falling leaves.

And I love roosters and burlap too.

I never tire of them.

See how it takes on different variations and patterns inside?

Love that!
