Painting Ball Jars: DIY

I have had SO much positive 

feedback from these 

Jadeite green jars I painted a 

few weeks ago! I saw 

this DIY on Pinterest

and HAD to give it a try!

This DIY was SO easy and fun! 

Do you have lots of old vases laying 

around the house, that you hate and 

hide away under your cupboards? 

Why not paint them your favorite color, 

and display them? 

First ~ You are going to want to grab an 

old clear glass vase, or jar. 

Second: Pick out any color paint that you would like 

to use. I had some paint that we mixed 

ourselves a while back, any regular latex paint will do. 

Make sure you have either an old rag ready to use, or 

gloves..and lay down some newspaper...this 

could get messy. 

If you pour it nicely, it shouldn't get too messy,

but it's always good to be prepared!

Pour your paint directly into your vase or 

jar and swirl around til the whole thing is covered. 

It typically takes 2 to 3 days for the 

glass to dry...so be patient. 

Aren't they pretty? I love how they 

turned out! Just sitting displayed 

on your table or mantle would be 

simple and pretty. 

This Fall, in September and October 

we are going to be having some 

"Ladies Create" Events in our 

Greenhouse, where all the ladies come 

out and we create together! We were 

thinking of doing this as one of our crafts...

What do you think?? Or if you have 

any ideas we would love to hear them!
