That is such a cute and fun project. It reminds me of when I was a kid, and my mom would do crafty fun things with us too. The flowers are the coolest.

Wow! This looks really amazing. I love how the gold + pink combines. How long did this take?

Thanks Debbie-Jean. The jar was quick. The paint dries quickly - the glue for the glitter takes the longest to dry, I'd say 10 mins for the jar to dry - light coats of paint. 20-30 or more for the glitter/glue but you can probably work with it while it's "damp" and the fingerprints are quick, like minutes quick. The flowers, it really depends on how many you make. Since it's not really important they be exact you can do it pretty quickly - I'd say minutes each. The cut on the fold is super quick.The rolled rose is quick and the longest is the folded petal one because you need to wait a minute for the glue to set up, so I'd say 2 - 3 mins for the easy ones and maybe 10 for the larger one because you need to cut out all the circles. I hope that helps!
