Painted Mason Jar Containers
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!
