On a blank Design Space canvas, upload the Easter Egg SVG file.
Measure the glass jar and resize the eggs to fit on the jars as needed.
Select “Make It” in Design Space and choose to cut without a mat.
Follow prompts for loading mat into Cricut Joy and cutting the Smart Vinyl.
Cut around each egg image with a pair of scissors.
Peel away a piece of transfer tape backing and place the transfer tape overtop of the vinyl image. Gently rub the vinyl to help it stick to the transfer tape.
Peel away the backing, leaving the egg adhered to the transfer tape.
Position the egg and transfer tape on to the smooth side of a mason jar and press in place in the middle of the jar.
Slowly and carefully remove the transfer tape leaving the vinyl egg design on the jar.
Similarly, position the other eggs on to the remaining glass jars.
Using a medium sized paintbrush, apply Chalky Finish in Rejuvenate over the surface of the smallest jar including the vinyl eggs.
Paint the medium sized jar in Delicate and the largest jar in Lace color.
Once dry, use the weeding tool or your fingernails to pick away and peel off the vinyl egg shapes and discard.
Using a fine grit sandpaper, gently sand the painted jars to distress the edges.
To finish, apply a dab of glue to the top of the jar lid and press decorative bird’s nest on top and tie a piece of twine around the neck of the jars.
Fill with Easter treats and chocolate eggs.
