Mason jars, ball jars, fruit jars or large canning jars are staples that seal in memories of grandmas, wonderful aromas and divine tastes. The old keepsake has also taken center stage in home decor. This exquisite example is the handiwork of Linda at Craftaholics Anonymous who added a permanent tint to her mason jar flower vase.
Find them at thrift stores or collect some vintage ones and transform them into gorgeous decor objects. All you need is a sponge brush and some transparent waterproof glass glaze or paint. Turquoise was used for Lina's jar. Paint the inside of the jar, starting at the bottom, with long even brush strokes. One coat of paint should suffice but if you want a darker tint, a second or even third coat of paint might be needed. Allow to dry according to the manufacturers directions. Dala's Solvent Glass Glaze dries at room temperature and no baking is required as is the case with some other brands.
For another DIY addition to your Blue Mason Jar have a peek at Linda's innovative Frog Lid Tutorial. Flog Lids help hold flowers in place so that you can arrange them how
you want. The little openings in the wire help the
flowers to stand up and make your bouquets look fabulous.
