DIY Stained Mason Jars

 

Have yous seen these coloured bricklayer jars before?

I’ve seen them inwards pictures, only I’ve never seen them inwards a store!

So I decided to brand some. Can’t live on that hard, right?

Well, its not. And bonus: I had all the necessary tools on manus already.

 

 

Materials:

Mason jar

Wax paper

Mod Podge

food colouring

Spoons or foam brushes that yous tin become gum on

Paper bowls (or plates)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 200F. In a newspaper bowl, mix together two tbsp of H2O in addition to four tbsp of modern podge. Stir until mixed amongst a foam brush or spoon. Add nutrient colouring to become the desired tint. I added four drops for each of my jounce colours.

 

2. Pour the H2O in addition to modern podge mixture into the bricklayer jar. Turn the jounce some inwards circles, making certain to coat the entire within of the jounce amongst the mixture.

3. Pour the H2O in addition to modern podge mixture dorsum out of the jar, leaving a sparse coating inside. Make certain to coat the lip of the jounce every bit yous pour it out. Wipe off whatever mixture on the exterior of the jar. If yous function out also much mixture inwards the jar, the jounce stain isn’t every bit uniform in addition to thence endeavor to alone function out a sparse layer.

4. When ready, house the jounce upside downward on baking canvass amongst wax newspaper inwards the oven. Bake for three minutes. When done, plow the jounce correct side up. Carefully wipe the excess H2O in addition to modern podge mixture from the lip of the jounce amongst a newspaper towel. Then house the jounce correct side upwards inwards the oven in addition to bake for an additional 30-40 minutes, or until the stain is clear on the jar. If you’re non certain if its done, a fleck of extra fourth dimension doesn’t price it.

 

And hither is the finished product:

 

I fifty-fifty used some inwards my recent Easter/Spring mantle display:

 

Why pay extra coin for these jars when yous tin create it yourself?!?
