Give an antique look to a photograph inside a glass jar. You just need to be a black and white photo, fill the jar with oil (preferably olive oil), add some dried flowers or branches and place the photo inside. It will look amazing!
Memories in a bottle … Just put a picture inside a glass jar and add objects related to that time. A beautiful way to display a memory ….
Look here for some ideas:
adorei,muito lindo!
Are there directions for some of the others? Like the ones that look like they are attached to the jar. What type materials are used to attach the photos?
Are the clear jars filled with any type of liquid?
Vickie, You use olive oil.
does oil not ruin picture
I wondered the same thing…maybe you could laminate the picture first ? ? ?
No oil is suppose to leave the picture alone and keep it reserved, as water will destroy the Picture.
Lynn,
I would make a copy of the photo and use that. You could also make black and white copies of color photos and use them.
Seems like a waste of a whole lot of good olive oil.
Just buy the cheapest one…
Really People!!! Go make a black and white copy… Don’t use the original.
I would love more ideas like these..more like the western style cause I live in the country.
I have done this by laminating photos (make sure you leave a bit of sealed border when you trim) and adding water, glitter and glycerin (get it at a drugstore – it helps suspend the glitter) for a snow globe effect. Used hot glue to attach the photos to the lid. Wide mouth jars are key. Plumbers tape around the threads to ensure a tight seal. May try oil next time……
My son done the pictures with the olive oil for their outdoor wedding and they looked amazing and they had all kinds of compliments!!!!
i used to make this in a bottle for my ex-boyfriend..i put some beads on it and a cute ribbon…mason jar is cool.gonna make one for my 3 kiddos…
Can you use vegetable oil?
