You’ve seen this ALL over Pinterest right now: Painting Mason Jars, painting bottles, paint dipping glass jars, etc.
I mean, it’s not a revolutionary idea, but I’ve been pretty obsessive about painting jars, to the point that they are currently the only projects I’ve been working on or rather focusing on.
I attempted last week to do my own version of the “dipping” look. They didn’t turn out as amazing as the Pinterest tutorial I found from The Beauty Department. They also utilized spray painting rather than hand painting, which, gives it a much cleaner edge. But I’ve just decided that mine will now just be “Shabby Chic” so to speak.
I didn’t realize I had used the same colors until after I had completed these jars, whoops! I guess sub-consciously I really loved the color combo and that stuck with me! I’ve been very into the metallic and grey-gradient of colors lately, very monotone. But I think they are classic and modern, so thank you ladies for that inspiration!
- Covering the inside of a glass jar with paint (generic acrylic paint)
- Jar completed.
- I made the honey pot for my friend Rachels birthday. I did the same style by coating the inside with paint first.
- Spray painted mason jar with “H” puffy paint.
- Jar with gerber daisies to fill my cube at work with sunshine!
I share your obsession! I love a quick craft, me! You should get onto chalkboard paint – it’s literally the best thing ever (ok, maybe not literally…) I used it on some wine glasses, so nobody gets confused about which drink is theirs! http://blackcatoriginals.wordpress.com/2012/05/23/bubbles-a-chalkable-champagne-glass-how-to/
Nothing better than starting and ending a craft on the same day! I’m very impatient, I just want to finish them then and there!
And I totally feel you on the chalkboard paint! I’m dying to make my own colors but haven’t made my way to the hardware store yet! That’s actually a post I’m working on now! 🙂
