You can see that I took these pictures the next day though and I had fixed up the tree a little by adding in some white berries and spreading the ornaments out.
Shake a few drops onto the broken makeup and start stirring it around with something like a toothpick..I really thought I’d have to break all the chunks up, but they dissolve instantly right into the rubbing alcohol!.
After a few seconds of stirring, use your toothpick to smooth out the surface of your makeup again.You’re probably a bit more patient than I am, so yours will probably look much better than mine.The rubbing alcohol really evaporates so quickly!
Mine was all dry in about an hour and a half!.Whether yours is perfectly beautiful and smooth after it dries, or looks a little…um… interesting, like mine does, the important thing is that it works again!
Another one of life’s little annoyances, solved!.
Rubbing alcohol really is some pretty great stuff!The cheapo paints tend to drip more easily and therefore you need to do more coats and make them lighter.
Because of my impatience, I like to use a good quality paint like this to make the job as easy and fun as possible.. A nice gloss white is always my favorite on pieces like this, but feel free to experiment!It’s only paint and you can paint right over it again if you don’t like it!.
So that’s pretty much it!.I’ve been seeing white ginger jars like this showing up in trendy decor catalogs more and more over the last couple of years for BIG bucks.
