You might know that I’m in LOVE with
mason jars…
and now to feed my addiction further I’ve started
painting them
and have fallen even deeper in love
{no worries - I don’t think my hubby is at all jealous of this crush!}
Wanna make some?
How to Make
SHABBY DISTRESSED MASON JARS:
You start off the makeover by painting a jar black
(go look through your spray paint and I bet you’ll find at least some old half used can of black – or 7 cans like me!)
then once that dries, cover it with another color of your choice - here is a pretty cream spray paint
‘
and then sand it up a bit
and you’re set
easy right?
what wonderful results!
mmmmm I adore this lattice one
I included one in my prairie cottage mantel display
and have sold some in the cute little shoppe I sell at
but I’ve HAD to keep some for myself
lots of different jars
lots of different makeovers
mmmmm!
I first encountered them here and was immediately smitten {thank you!}

Oh, oh, OH! Yes, I must do some painting of mason jars now! Thanks so much for this; I never would of thought to paint them black first. Love that lattice patterned jar - I've never seen one like that. Must keep my eyes peeled! TFS!!
ReplyDeleteThese are SO cute, I can't wait to try it! Thanks so much!

Love these! Thanks for the tip! I have to try this!
ReplyDeleteI really like the black showing through the white paint. I have to pin this.
ReplyDeleteOh I definitely want to give this a try! Thanks for the tip of using black paint first!
ReplyDeleteThey look so nice where you sanded them down a bit. I love this idea!
ReplyDeleteNo wonder you are in love, these are so beautiful!! And how easy it is to do! Thanks for sharing, I'm pinning this one for sure.

they are so cute and so popular right now, that one with the lattice is really special, love that, I'm a new follower of your blog, its so nice to meet you!
ReplyDeleteI'm in love with those jars too...great idea to do the layers of colors and sanding. I had trouble with my solid ones because the spray paint got runny. This will fix that...thanks for sharing!! Love them on your mantel :)
ReplyDeleteI love this idea! I pinned it! Thanks for the tutorial!
ReplyDeleteSuch a great idea. So often we miss the underlying patterns on clear glass jars.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your how to.
Blessings,

This is a fabulous idea! I just started with candle making and people in my area are really into the primitive look and I have been looking for new ideas for my mason jars! Love this!!!
