Ever heard of 'grunging' something? Well, here's your chance to take something and make it in to something else. We started with a glass vase, got it at the thrift store for $2.50. This is what we will be grunging. You will also need some 'Elmer's' type glue, cinnamon, water, paint brush, container for mixing glue and water, and spray sealer.
You will want to mix the glue and the water in a container to thin the glue done. If you want to use Modge Podge, you can, using glue thinned with water, is less expensive. You want to the glue/water mixture to be spreadable with a paint brush. Then begin to brush it on your glass container, and sprinkle with cinnamon. Continue brushing and sprinkling, until your whole container is covered. Allow to dry thoroughly. Overnight is great.
Your container may look something like this one. Someone suggested putting a little paint in your glue, I've never tried that. Will need to!. When your glue/cinnamon is dry, spray this with your sealer.
Here we've taken the same container and tied jute around the top.
Add some flowers and you are done!
This small container was done the same way, but we also rolled it in instant coffee grounds while the glue/water mixture was still wet. Going to put pencils in this one. Give it a try!
