Super EASY Painted Mason Jar For Halloween
I finally figured out how to paint a glass jar without it looking like I just slopped paint all over a jar. I think they key is to use a mason jar. Sure, a regular old spaghetti jar or pickle jar "could work", but the mason jars have so much more character to them.
Supplies Needed:
Mason jar
Orange paint and foam paint brush
Bakers twine
Cheap plastic spider rings
Sorry, no blow-by-blow photos, since I forgot to take photos as I went this is pretty easy and self-explanatory .
Step 1 - Paint the outside of a mason jar with craft paint. I used Martha Stewart's Multi-Surface Satin paint in the color Mace ( Better known as pumpkin orange for the rest of us.
Step 2 - After coating it twice and allowing it to dry, take a sanding sponge and knock off some of the paint over the letters and raised areas of the jar to give it a rustic look.
Step 3 - Wrap some festive bakers twine around the top. The craft stores have all sorts of fun colors of this bakers twine nowadays.
Step 4 - Snip off the ring part of the plastic spider rings and glue the remaining spiders to the ends of the twine. I found my spider rings at Dollar Tree smack dab in the middle of a bag of spider webs.
Step 4.5 - Stand back and admire your insanely easy Halloween craft.
