Painted Mason Jar Vases

 

 Painted Mason Jar Vases

I have seen a number of painted Mason Jar vases as of late.

I've seen them painted in array of colors for weddings, parties and events. 

I just love them!  

I wanted a set for myself......  so off to the thrift store I went.

I not only found several old Mason Jars....  but also found a wire basket and an antique tole tray.

I purchased a hand full of cheap acrylic paints (.79 from Michael's) in cream, harvest gold, pumpkin, spice and brown.  I cleaned the jars and wiped them down with alcohol (so the paint will stick).  I painted each jar a different color.  Two coats did the trick.  After drying completely.....  I took fine sandpaper and distressed them a little.  To finish.....  I embellished them with bits of vintage lace, flowers and rusty metal leaves. 

They just happened to fit perfectly in the old wire basket.  I adorned the basket with a piece of tea dyed fringe from an old chenille bedspread.

A bit of this and little of that......  and you have a wonderful Fall display.

Total cost.......  about $12.

Blessings to all.
