Create decorative fancy mason jars by spray painting and embellishing with glitter and Mod Podge.
Servings decorative mason jars makes

What you need

  • Krylon Spray Paint (Glossy Black and Metallic Gold & Silver)
  • Glossy Mod Podge
  • Paint Brush (1")
  • Recollections or Martha Stewart Glitter
  • Mason jars
  • Cardboard

Directions

  1. Turn jar upside down on cardboard and spray with paint, standing at least 12" away. Don't worry if not totally covered. Let dry then spray again.
  2. Let dry for 1 hour in cold weather or 30 minutes in hot weather.
  3. Once dry, use paint brush to apply Mod Podge to bottom portion of jar. Sprinkle with glitter, working in sections so glue doesn't dry. Optional: seal with another coat of Mod Podge, though this reduces the glittery gleam.
    Tips: For a perfect straight line, lay jar on table and place paper over it to guide application. Do not use tape as it will pull off spray paint. These are decorative only - be careful as spray paint chips if scratched and do not get the outside wet.
