Tutorial: Easy Frosted Glass Chevron Pattern

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of FrogTape brand painter’s tape. All opinions are 100% mine.

Have you seen the new Shape Tape in stores yet? It is so cool! It's their first treated edge treated painter's tape with pre-cut patterns like Chevron, Wave, and Scallop designs. The Shape Tape™ is treated with patented PaintBlock® Technology which is a super absorbment polymer that reacts with the water in latex paint and instantly gels to form a micro-barrier that seals the edges of the tape and helps prevent paint bleed.

I wanted to use the Shape Tape  to make fun frosted chevron patterns on recycled glass baby food jars to use as votive candle holders for our screened in porch and can I tell you how much I love the end product! This tape is great!!  I love how easy the tape is to use...and the pre-cut designs make such a huge difference in how frustrating a chevron pattern project can be having to spend so much time cutting regular old painter's tape and line it up perfectly. And even though I used the Shape Tape™ on glass with spray paint, not latex paint, I still had no paint bleed and a great looking chevron design in the end!

All you need to make this project are a few simple items, including this awsome Shape Tape™!

Recycled glass jars (ex. baby food jars, pickle jars, smooth-walled canning jars)
Frosted spray paint

First, place your Shape Tape™ around your glass jar to see how much you'll need. Depending on where the design ends based off of the diameter of your glass jar, you may need to cut off a bit of extra tape to line up the pattern best. The Shape Tape™ is designed with a slit liner on the back to make application a breeze, gotta love that! Just pull half the liner off, line it up and the pull the other half off and press into place.

Then take your taped glass jars outside in a well-ventilated area and give them a few coats with your frosted spray paint. Let dry for a couple of hours and then you can take off your tape!

Ta Da! Cute Chevron Patterned Frosted Glass Jars!

Like I said before, I am using them as votive candle holders, but you could also use them as pencil holders (think Teacher gifts!), a planter for a cute little succulent, or cute organizational jars for all your itty bitty stuff!
