Mason Jar Painting Party

Sometimes we just need have a few friends over and do a little crafting! It’s fun, therapeutic and we get to put our creative juices to work! So, that’s what I did. I decided to hold a Mason Jar Painting Party.

One of my all time favorite projects was the Painted Mason Jars. They’re pretty easy to make and I think they’re super functional. They can be used for flowers, pen jar, gift giving, etc. I thought those would be the perfect project for crafters of all levels! I had recently received some chalkboard tags and chalk pencils from Bright Star Kids and using them for this party seems to be a perfect fit! I got both the vintage inspired labels and the circles, but decided to use the circles for labeling.

The craft supplies for the mason jar painting are minimal: Mason Jars, Acrylic Paint, Paint Brushes or Sponge Brushes, Nail Files, and Sealer.

To put the super cute chalkboard labels to use, I wrapped soup cans with scrapbook paper (attached with double sided tape) and placed washi tape over the seams. I then placed added my chalkboard labels for the finishing touch. One for clean brushes and one for dirty. I also used one for the nail file can! You know that’s the secreat weapon to these painted mason jars, right? Anywho, using soup cans makes clean up super duper easy!

I even used a chalkboard tag on a paper gift tag to tie around the jar that I filled with the sealer bottles!

I loved using the chalk pencils too — they didn’t smear, but if I made a boo-boo, I could wipe the label clean with a damp cloth. That was a lifesaver for this perfectionist {wink}.

Other supplies needed are jars and acrylic paint. Provide different style jars of all shapes and sizes, giving your girlfriends choices.

Once everything is set up — you’re ready to go!

I had my paper roll/dispenser (from Ikea) for everyone to tear off a sheet to work on — that worked out brilliantly! The runner on the project supply bar is actually tissue paper from Hazel and Ruby and the the fun scrap fabric banner and shipping tags are from House 129. I cut up a few of the vintage style chalkboard labels and placed them in little glassine bags for the girls to take as little favors too.

And we all walked away with lovely painted mason jars! These parties are easy to pull together and so much fun. I hope you’re inspired to do the same! For the full tutorial on how to make these jars, visit my Painted Mason Jar tutorial.
