Meet the Bloggers!

Our blogger community shares new ideas, offers inspiration, and shows you how to do it all yourself!

" This project is a great way to transform plain glass jars into beautiful containers that can

be used to hold almost anything."

TOOLS

•

Mason jars (or any empty glass jars)

•

ScotchBlue™ Painter's tape

•

Metallic gold spray paint

•

Flat black spray paint (or any matte color)

•

Optional: Hole punch (for polka dot patterns)

•

Optional: X-acto® knife and straight edge (to cut tape into thinner stripes)

Step By Step Guide:

Step 1

Remove lids, then rinse or wipe down jars to remove any dust and allow to thoroughly

dry.

Put down plastic or newspaper in a well ventilated area or outside, and place your jars

with the tops down. TIP: To create a steady surface on grass, use an old palette.

Step 2

Spray your jars completely with the flat black (or other matte color) paint, and allow

to dry for several hours.

Step 3

Now for the fun part! Once the base paint has thoroughly dried, use ScotchBlue™

Painter's tape. to tape off sections of your jars to create patterns. If you're feeling

extra creative, use a hole punch to punch out holes on pieces of tape to create polka

dots. You can also use an X-acto® knife and a straight edge to cut thinner strips of

tape for different sized stripes. When done taping, place your jars on your plastic or

newspaper again.

Step 4

Spray the taped jars with the metallic paint. Allow to dry for several hours.

Step 5

Remove the tape and admire your new containers!
