Then I cut shapes from a few different colors of tissue paper. I cut mine to resemble the leaf shapes from the coloring page design, but you could cut squares, circles, or even rip the tissue paper for more organic shapes.
Once I had cut a bunch of tissues paper shapes, I started applying Mod Podge glue/sealer to a small area of the jar. I placed the tissue shapes one by one onto the jar, always making sure the area where I stuck them was covered with Mod Podge and then applying a thin layer over the top of the shape. It is important to be gentle during this stage because the edges of the tissue paper shapes can rip. I did have a few shapes that tore, but I didn't worry about it too much. I think those little imperfections are what make handmade items unique!
Once I had covered the jar with Mod Podge and tissue paper, I placed my coloring page design on top of the tissue paper, applying a layer of Mod Podge under and on top of the paper.
Finally, I gathered some flowers and to add to my jar, and I had a beautiful addition to my kitchen table. The coloring page that I used was from my Around Maine coloring book which you can purchase here or choose a coloring page that you love.
