Amidst the chaos of the pandemic, I’ve barely left my house to get the necessities- let alone craft supplies! I’ve temporarily closed custom orders and have been trying to work with what’s remaining of my inventory. One of my most popular orders are stash jars, especially now that weed is legal in Canada. I’ve never posted a tutorial because it’s pretty straightforward and you don’t even need vinyl, you can use stickers or even paint. But, now more than ever is it a great time to use what you already have at home. Save that cash for when we’re free to roam Michael’s for hours!
ETC: 20-30M
Supplies:
– Glass jar or any airtight container
– Vinyl, stickers, paint, etc
Meg Thee Stallion is one of my favourite artists, so I decided to design my personal stash jar after Thee Hot Girl herself. I used one of Cricut’s free fonts
in a dark purple, glitter holographic vinyl. I wanted to give the jar a 70’s vibe and when the light hits the
vinyl, it reflects rainbow shimmers! It’s one of my favourite pieces, photos really don’t do glitter holographic vinyl justice.
This XO jar doesn’t mean hugs and kisses! It’s actually a beautiful fan replica of The Weeknd’s logo that I found with free commercial use, but unfortunately I can’t find the creator on Tumblr anymore. It’s almost identical to the real thing and I’ve used it for rolling trays, stash jars, and even car decals! I chose the orange holographic vinyl (that reflects as purple in the light) because the colours go perfectly with his aesthetic.
This specific stash jar made me start using wax paper when applying vinyl to surfaces. If you look closely or have an eye for imperfection like me, you’ll notice that there are miniscule scratches all over the vinyl. That was from my Cricut scraper, the rectangular plastic piece. I guess from months of using it repeatedly, the edge started to get ragged and I didn’t notice until using it to apply the orange holographic vinyl. I immediately thought of trying to put wax paper on top of the vinyl, and then scraping over the wax paper to apply it safely. It worked like a charm! Sometimes if the vinyl piece is large, I just tape down the wax paper to keep it flat and sturdy. The clasped glass jars above and mason jars with screw-on lids are the best for storing weed, in my opinion.
This is a craft that you can easily customize for profit or personalize for fun. Make it your own and enjoy.
Stay safe and stay inspired,
