Instructions
 

  • Thoroughly wash jars with soap and hot water and let them dry completely before using.
  • Working small sections at a time, apply Mod Podge to the surface of the smaller 8oz jar.
  • Gently place one pressed hydrangea on top of the glued area and press down.
  • Seal the hydrangea in place with another coat of Mod Podge over top.
  • Continue adding one pressed hydrangea at a time on to the glass, overlapping the other flowers for more coverage. Cover the entire jar and then leave the glue to dry fully.
