Back-to-School Mason Jars
What you need
- Brown spray paint
- White spray paint
- White acrylic paint
- Black Sharpie
- Red Sharpie
- Paint brush
- Mason jars (one large, one small)
- Ruler
- Clear shellac (optional)
Directions
- Turn mason jars upside down and spray the large jar brown and smaller jar white. Let dry completely.
- Once dry, use the edge of a ruler to help draw two parallel white lines down the center of the football (brown) jar. Be careful not to scrape the paint. Let dry.
- Using a paint brush, make 8 white laces across the center white lines of the football jar. Let dry. Optional: spray with clear shellac to protect the paint from scraping.
