Painting Mason Jars with Chalk Paint
An Easy and Fun DIY Project
I love spring home décor projects. I have wanted to paint some mason jars with chalk paint for a while now, and spring is a great time to do this. I always see such fun photos with spring flowers in pastel jars, and I think they look so nice.
Supplies Needed:
- Mason Jars
- Chalk Paint and Wax
- Sanding Block or Sand Paper
- Buffing Cloth
- Foam Brush
Painting Mason Jars with Chalk Paint
- Start by painting the rim of the jar. Hold it toward the bottom, and work paint around the jar making your way to the bottom.
- Then set it down, and paint the bottom of the jar as well.
- This is after one coat
- Let this dry completely, and add a second coat.
- After the second coat has dried completely, you are ready for sanding. This is one of the fun parts. I love to have a distressed look to my décor. Lightly sand over the raised parts of the jar so the glass is revealed.
- Then you need to apply the wax coat, and let that dry completely.
- When it is ready, use a soft cloth and buff the finish to a soft sheen. You can see this in the picture below. The jar on the left is buffed, and the jar on the right is not. This step makes a big difference and really creates a professional look. I love it!
- Now you are ready to add flowers or greenery or even create an herb garden.
I really hope you enjoyed this simple, fun home décor project that is inexpensive and looks great!
Have a great day, and I will see you next time,
Michelle
