You don't even need to get the jars from the Dollar Store - recycle old ones! These are the perfect touch to your backyard BBQ this Summer to add some DIY party decor and a pop of color. What fruit would you do!?

Best mason jars!

Make your own summer inspired decor with these mason jars that Amazon reviewers swear by!


Gather your materials: whatever paint that matches the fruit you want to do, rope, twine, lace or whatever kind of ribbon for an extra detail, paint brushes and sand paper to make it a little rustic.

For this example, we are doing a watermelon so you'll paint the top 3/4 hot pink.

To the bottom 1/4 paint some lime green on it!

After that lime green dries, add a darker green right below it to mimic the rind.

Add some black watermelon seeds to around the jar and voila!

If you want to make it a little bit more rustic, grab some sandpaper and run it along whatever is sticking out further than the jar.

I added some twine and fell in love - what do you think?

The possibilities are endless with fruits and I cannot wait to see what you guys create. Don't forget to check out more Summer DIY's in my YouTube video below where I show you how to make watermelon Rose glasses and a Pinterest inspired sunhat.
