Thanksgiving DIY: Lettered Metallic Mason Jars
This Thanksgiving, add a beautiful glow of shimmers to your mantel with these colorful, metallic and lettered mason jars. This “hearthwarming” project is from the creative mind of Debbie Hayes of My Patch of Blue Sky and embraces the love of family. Let us see how she created them!
Supplies Needed
After deciding on which word or lettering you’d like to display on your jars, select that number of mason jars to paint. With the word ‘Family’, there were six jars to paint.
As the Metallic Paint coats dry, create a page of letters to attach to the front of your mason jars. Debbie used the CopperPlate Bold at 151 and printed the letters from a Cricut. You can also purchase ready-made letters from your local craft store!
By using a piece of double stick tape, you can quickly adhere a letter to each jar. Feel free to add pretty flowers or other decorations to taste. We’re sure you’ll love the look once they’re lined up on a mantle or shelf in your home!

Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
Can you use spray paint
What is the best way to apply the letters so that they do not get creases where The jar rounds?
in your supplies list you have a primer, but it is not in your steps. Did you use the primer for these jars? I found that the paint showed the brush marks and I'm wondering if the primer would help to eliminate these and make it look smoother like your photos
