Adhere Ghost Faces
Adhere the ghost faces to the apothecary jars with glue dots.
Didn’t they turn out cute?
There was only one problem!
When I looked at my jars about 30 minutes later, they looked like this…
The mouths were falling off!
I made the mistake of printing the ghost faces on cardstock.
It was too stiff and kept pulling away from the glass.
So I printed those adorable faces on regular printer paper and they stuck on the jars perfectly!
I had no small Zots left, so I used the medium ones instead and had to cut them in half for the skinnier parts of the mouth.
Learn from Donna’s mistake* Don’t print the faces on cardstock, use regular printer paper.
