Painted Mason Jars

The long awaited mason jar redo is here!  I had posted about my thrift store finds here and mentioned the next time you would see these mason jars, they would look a little different.


What do you think of them now?  If you're wondering how I did that, have no fear, instructions are to follow.


Supplies Needed:
  • Mason jars (I picked up mine at the thrift store for $0.50 each)
  • Craft paint (I got mine at Michael's for less than $0.50 each)


Start by squirting paint in the bottom of the jar and slowly swirl the paint around the jar until the entire surface is covered.


Once the jars are covered, let them dry upside down.


Look easy?  That's because it is!  I love how they came out, especially with the small amount of effort they require.


I could have stopped this project here, but what fun would that be? 

To be continued....
