Time to Paint

First, I wash and dry the jar.

Then, I use metallic spray paint to cover the outside of the jar completely. Should I have painted the inside? Maybe. But that didn’t happen at the moment, nor did a picture. Oops. Well, when it’s completely dry I moved onto the Cricut part!

Time for Vinyl

At this point, I created a cute Jack O’ Lantern face in Cricut Design Space with three triangles, three squares, two circles, and the slice tool.

Obviously, I cut it out of black vinyl using my Cricut Maker and removed the extra vinyl from around the design.

Then I cut a piece of transfer tape the size of my design. I pull off the tape from its backing, I like to save the backing so I can reuse the same piece of transfer tape multiple times. Anyway, I put the tape on top of the design, rub it with the scraper and pull the backing away. Afterward, I place the tape onto the jar and rub it with the scraper before pulling the tape off.
