PAINTED MASON JAR DIY:

I've done a couple posts like this before, but just recently I did a new DIY with mason jars. I always have a bunch of different sizes and styles of mason jars laying around, from all the canning my family does.

I saw on ETSY these painted and distressed mason jars and thought, why pay money for something I can make myself?

These are SUPER easy to make, they just take a little time and effort. These are just a few of the different ones I painted and decorated.

THINGS YOU WILL NEED:

• Mason Jars
• Sand paper
• Acrylic Paint
• Paint Brushes 
• Personal Preference Decor Items

MASON JAR VASE:

1. Make sure your mason jar is CLEAN and then using the sand paper scratch up the glass a little bit, so the paint will stick better.
2. Choose your paint color.
3. Paint 1 thin coat of paint all over the jar, let dry
4. Paint 2nd coat, let dry. (repeat until desired opacity) 
5. After completely dry, if you want a "distressed" look use sand paper to scratch off some of the paint. 
6. I added twine around the top of the jar, just using a glue gun. 
7. Add your flowers:) (real or fake) 

GOLD STACKING MASON JARS:

1. Make sure your mason jar is CLEAN and then using the sand paper scratch up the glass a little bit, so the paint will stick better.
2. Choose your paint color.
3. Paint 1 thin coat of paint all over the jar, let dry
4. Paint 2nd coat, let dry. (repeat until desired opacity)
5. STACK!

MAKEUP BRUSH CANDLE JAR HOLDER:

1. Make sure your mason jar is CLEAN and then using the sand paper scratch up the glass a little bit, so the paint will stick better.
2. Choose your paint color. I used silver, with sparkle paint over the top.
3. Paint 1 thin coat of paint all over the jar, let dry
4. Paint 2nd coat, let dry. (repeat until desired opacity)
5. Add decor, I used dried star fish I got from "REAL DEALS ON HOME DECOR" in a pack of like 8?

Hope you try some of these out!
