Vintage Inspired Painted Mason Jars

I have a fabulous project to share with you today!  These sweet vintage inspired Painted Mason Jars.  I saw some of them being sold on Etsy and had to give them a try.  They are super easy and a fabulous handmade piece that you could easily gift to your mom on Mother’s Day.

Colorful Painted Mason Jars with FlowersThere aren’t any step by step pictures, as it really is a very simple project.  Wouldn’t it be fun to invite some friends over and make these for gifts or to display a lovely bouquet for guests?

Supplies for Painted Mason Jars:

Mason Jars
Acrylic Paint
Paint Brushes
Nail Files, Sealer
Bouquet of flowers (of course).

Painted Mason Jars Tutorial:

Step One:

Grab your supplies and be sure that your jars are clean and ready for painting.

Step Two:

Paint two coats of paint on the outside of your jar.  Allow appropriate time to dry.

Step Three:

Sand the raised letters and spots around the jar for an aged/vintage look with a nail file.

Step Four:

Seal.  Paint one or two coats of sealer on your jar.

Step Five:

Arrange flowers for display or gifting.

Super Easy Painted Mason Jars

Additional details:  The colors I used for the painted mason jars were Citron, Turquoise and Vanilla by craft smart (purchased at Michael’s).  

I used pint-sized jars (however, any shape and size would work).  The sealer allows you to be able to wipe the jars with a damp wet cloth for cleaning purposes; however, you cannot submerge or soak these in water.

In the picture below I used a vintage action for fun.  I’m madly in love with these jars!  I may even add a few to my shop, for those who don’t want to hassle with the DIY part.  If your mom likes flowers, why not make a fun mason jar vase to pair with them?  I’m willing to bet you’ll make a few for yourself too.

Soooo, happy crafting!  What are you waiting for?  Let’s get making some painted mason jars!

    Great idea. I bought a few mason jars to use as pencils holders for my sons DIY desk. I’m still working on it, but I can whip these babies up in short order. Think I’ll do so today.

    Ooooh I just love these. They will be perfect on my kitchen window sill. Just one quick (perhaps silly question) but is it ok to have water inside the jars for the flowers or should I use silk flowers??

      Hi Robyn! By all means use water inside the jars 🙂 I’ve only used fresh flowers. Enjoy!

    Omg love these! How do you get the paint so even. What kind of brush did you use. Ive tried using Acrylic paint on jars before and it had big lines. Any suggestions? thanks

      Hi Adrienne! It doesn’t go on perfectly, but a couple of coats allows for much more even coverage. I used medium sized crafting brushes. Hope that helps. Cheers!

    I’m curious to know how the distressing you did made it look black underneath. Did you apply a coat of black under the citrus yellow?

    Reply
    • Kelly Rowe says

      08/02/2013 at 10:18 am

      Hi Cindy! There isn’t any paint. With the flowers and water, it just provides shadows that creates that black look 🙂
