DIY Vintage Pictures And Mason Jars
This is a super easy 3-step project that adds a vintage touch while allowing family, baby, or engagement pictures to be incorporated into your reception decor.
The images have help up better than I had hoped, bleeding a little at the edges and becoming a little more translucent, but in my opinion it's only getting better with age ....
Supplies you'll need:
- Quartz sized mason jar with lid (I used a mixture of new and old jars from the 70s)
- Black and white 4x6 picture trimmed to fit
- Vegetable oil
- Dried flowers (optional)
1. Insert your picture into the mason jar and pour enough vegetable oil to cover completely.
2. Put some dried flowers on the opposite side of the picture, I chose lavender.
3. Tighten the lid up and it's done. The vegetable oil will suspend the picture inside the jar without penetrating it, causing it to look aged and slightly transparent. A total vintage look of old yellowed pictures from the past.
