Each lid was poured using several layers of colorful acrylic paint and a straw blow technique. After drying, I coated each lid in several layers of clear epoxy resin. I also included a little bit of glitter into the design for sparkle, though it is covered in resin so it should not flake off and get everywhere. The last step for the lid was to gently sand off any thicker resin drops that had formed around the rim.
For the jar itself, I created a design in Cricut and used a multi-color shiny foil permanent vinyl. After placing it on the jar, I then used multiple layers of Mod Podge sealer to ensure the vinyl doesn’t peel off. This caused a slight frosted effect over the design so in order to carry out a consistent look, I coated the entire sides of the jar with the same Mod Podge sealer. This gives the jar a transparent yet somewhat frosted look.
The candy jar sands 5 inches tall and is about 4 1/4 inches in diameter. It is not tall enough to store full sized candy bars but you should probably eat those anyway. I mean, whys hare, right? Perfect for smaller candies or mini-sized bars.
To care for the jar, it should be hand washed only with no scrubbing on the outside. This may not only damage the frosted look, but could also damage the vinyl (even though it is permanent vinyl). I would just quickly spray the jar and let air dry. There is no design, decoration, or material for the interior so if you want to scrub out the insides with soapy water, that will be fine. This is NOT meant for the dishwasher or hot water. Hot water can and will damage the resin on the lid and could also affect the acrylic paint under the resin.
