Frosted Glass Jars

Tom Cruises Left Nut

Hi All

Hoping this is in the right place, if not please move it !

We are looking to get a frosted effect on some glass jars such as the following

We have tried using tissue paper glued on which some recommend but as the jars are not regular you end up with creases all over it

Have also tried using spray frosting paint but it just doesn't look right

Would anyone know some other methods we could try to get that look ?

Thanks a million !

I've never used the glass frosting one but spray finishes can be very finicky. Might not be much help but worth trying a few things if you havent already...You could try warming the can up in a basin of warm water for 5 mins before painting - if your can is cold from being out in a shed or whatever, it effects the consistency of the paint. This really helps when spraying matte varnish, so might help with the frosted finish as well. Another tip is dont shake the can up and down - hold the top and spin the base in a circle for a good few minutes, so you can hear the ball inside rolling smoothly instead of rattling. I'd do maybe 3-4 coats as well, they always say multiple thin coats are better than one thick one and especially with 'effect' paints it seems to make all the difference.

You could use an acid etching cream/paste
